A process that is common to metaphases of mitosis, meiosis I as well as meiosis II is:
1.  Alignment of chromosome at equatorial plate 
2. Attachment of spindle fibres from centrioles to both of the kinetochores of each chromosome
3. Separation of sister chromatids
4. Exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids
