Homologous chromosomes pair up.
Reason: During meiosis I (prophase I) homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis and form tetrads (and may cross over). This pairing does not occur in mitosis. The other listed events (chromatids separating, cytokinesis, formation of new cells) happen in mitosis as well.
