D
Prophase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the key difference between meiosis I and meiosis II: meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids, similar to mitosis.
Identify that in mitosis, sister chromatids are separated during anaphase, moving to opposite poles of the cell.
Compare the phases of meiosis: in Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate; in Anaphase II, sister chromatids separate.
Recognize that because Anaphase II involves the separation of sister chromatids, it is most similar to mitosis in this respect.
Conclude that the phase of meiosis most similar to mitosis in terms of separating sister chromatids is Anaphase II.
