Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the process of Meiosis II, which is the second division in meiosis, following Meiosis I. It involves the separation of sister chromatids, similar to mitosis.
Recall the phases of Meiosis II: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II.
In Metaphase II, sister chromatids align at the metaphase plate, preparing for separation.
During Anaphase II, the sister chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
In Telophase II, the separated chromatids reach the poles, and the cell begins to divide, leading to the formation of four haploid cells.
