Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic processes of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a single division resulting in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis consists of two divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) resulting in four genetically diverse cells.
Recall that mitosis involves stages where sister chromatids are separated into two new nuclei. This is similar to a stage in meiosis where sister chromatids are also separated.
Identify the stages of meiosis: Meiosis I includes Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I, while Meiosis II includes Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II.
Focus on Anaphase II of meiosis, where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles, similar to what occurs during Anaphase of mitosis.
Conclude that Anaphase II of meiosis is most similar to the process of mitosis, as both involve the separation of sister chromatids.
