During metaphase 1 of meiosis of the cell cycle chromosomal translocation occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromosomal translocation is abnormal phenomenon when a fragment of chromosomes detaches and gets stick to the non-homologous chromosome in an individual. These are causative of aneuploid, cancer and infertility in organism.

In metaphase 1 of meiosis the chromosomes gets aligned on the metaphase plate. This leads to surety of equal number of chromosome in the cell.

Chromosomal translocation are seen in metaphase 1 because it is the phase of rearrangement of chromosomes where fragments easily gets attach to the other chromosome.
