What occurs during telophase II of meiosis?
A
Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments.
B
Nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromosomes.
C
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
D
Chromosomes align at the cell equator.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell.
Recall that meiosis consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each stage has its own phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Focus on Telophase II, which is the final phase of Meiosis II. During this phase, the key event is the reformation of nuclear membranes around each set of chromosomes.
Recognize that by the time Telophase II occurs, the sister chromatids have already separated during Anaphase II and moved to opposite poles of the cell.
Conclude that the reformation of nuclear membranes signifies the end of meiosis, resulting in four haploid cells, each with a distinct set of chromosomes.
