Multiple Choice

The events of prophase II include which of the following?

Verified step by step guidance

Understand that prophase II is a stage in meiosis II, which follows meiosis I and involves the separation of sister chromatids.

Recall that during prophase II, the chromosomes, which are already condensed from meiosis I, further condense and become visible under a microscope.

Recognize that the nuclear envelope, which surrounds the nucleus, breaks down during prophase II, allowing the spindle apparatus to interact with the chromosomes.

Differentiate prophase II from prophase I, where homologous chromosomes pair up and crossing over occurs. In prophase II, homologous chromosomes are not involved as they were separated in meiosis I.

Note that the separation of sister chromatids and cytokinesis occur in later stages of meiosis II, specifically during anaphase II and telophase II, respectively.
