Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the process of Meiosis II, which is the second division in meiosis where the sister chromatids are separated.
Recall that Meiosis II consists of four phases: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II.
In Prophase II, the chromosomes condense and the spindle apparatus begins to form, but sister chromatids are not yet separated.
During Metaphase II, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, preparing for separation.
In Anaphase II, the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers towards opposite poles, effectively separating them into individual daughter chromosomes.
