A
Homologous chromosomes pair up.
B
Nuclear membranes reform around separated chromatids.
C
Chromosomes align at the equatorial plate.
D
Sister chromatids are pulled apart.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four haploid cells. It consists of two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II.
Recall that telophase II is the final stage of meiosis II, where the process of cell division is completed.
During telophase II, the nuclear membranes reform around the separated chromatids, which are now individual chromosomes in each of the four daughter cells.
Recognize that telophase II follows anaphase II, where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
Note that the reformation of nuclear membranes signifies the end of meiosis, resulting in four genetically distinct haploid cells.
