I heard that in Mitosis and Meiosis-II (where sister chromatids rather than homologs are separated), the correct attachment of microtubules to the kinetochors is termed "amphitelic", whereas in Meiosis-I it is called "bi-oriented". Other abnormal orientations are "monotelic", "syntelic" and mono-oriented (a.k.a. co-oriented). Monotelic means that one single kinetochor is pulled to either side (torn apart), syntelic means that two sister chromatids are pulled to one side and mono-oriented means that both sister chromatid pairs (that is, the whole bivalent) is pulled to one side. But I don't have any citations, no time for search, sorry Ryu (talk) 21:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Replace picture?
The first picture shown in the article only gives us little dots. We can’t even see up close what it looks like. In my opinion, it does not give a good enough image, and if seen improperly, may actually be misleading. I’d say we replace the picture with a better one.
