C
Metaphase I
D
Anaphase I
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. It consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Recall that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, while during Meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated.
Review the phases of Meiosis II: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II.
Identify that in Anaphase II, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell. This is similar to Anaphase in mitosis.
Conclude that the separation of sister chromatids occurs during Anaphase II of meiosis.
