During which stage of meiosis do the sister chromatids separate?
A
Anaphase I
B
Anaphase II
C
Metaphase I
D
Metaphase II
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of meiosis, which consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Recall that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, not sister chromatids. This is a key distinction from mitosis.
In Meiosis II, the process resembles mitosis, where the sister chromatids are separated.
Identify the stages of Meiosis II: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II.
Recognize that during Anaphase II, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, leading to their separation.
