The cellular process in which spindle microtubules become physically associated with the proteins making up the kinetochore complex in meiosis I. During meiosis I sister kinetochores are lying next to each other facing the same spindle pole and monopolar attachment of the chromatid to the spindle occurs.
Comment:
Note that the synonym 'monopolar attachment' refers to the normal attachment of sister chromosomes to the spindle in meiosis I, and not to the aberrant attachment of sister kinetochores to a single pole in mitosis.
