In the late stages of prophase I the homologous pairs will line up along the equation of the cell in a process called synapsis, this takes place so that the different chromosomes are closes enough to each other for crossing over to occur which helps provide genetic diversity.

Crossing over possibly. It's where nonsister chromatids from homologous chromosomes sometimes exchange genetic material
