Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the process of meiosis, which consists of two consecutive divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division has specific phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall that during meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated. This is different from mitosis, where sister chromatids are separated.
In meiosis II, the separation of sister chromatids occurs, similar to what happens in mitosis.
Identify the phases 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.
