Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context of Metaphase II in meiosis: Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells. It consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Recall the events of Meiosis I: During Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated into two daughter cells. This stage includes crossing over, where genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes.

Focus on Meiosis II: This stage is similar to mitosis, where the sister chromatids of each chromosome are separated. Metaphase II is a specific phase within Meiosis II.

Describe the state of chromosomes in Metaphase II: In Metaphase II, chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate. Unlike Metaphase I, where homologous pairs align, in Metaphase II, individual chromosomes (consisting of sister chromatids) align at the metaphase plate.

Clarify the correct description: The correct description for the state of chromosomes in Metaphase II is that they are aligned at the metaphase plate as individual sister chromatids, ready to be separated into different cells.
