The statement that describes a process that takes place in meiosis but not in mitosis is:

Homologous chromosomes pair up.

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up together and undergo crossing over, which does not occur in mitosis. In mitosis, the process involves the separation of sister chromatids, but there is no pairing of homologous chromosomes.
