Which stage of meiosis is most similar to mitosis in terms of sister chromatid separation?
A
Prophase I
B
Meiosis II (especially anaphase II)
C
Telophase I
D
Meiosis I (especially anaphase I)
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the main difference between meiosis I and meiosis II: meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
Understand that mitosis involves the separation of sister chromatids during anaphase, which is the key event to compare with meiosis stages.
Identify that in meiosis I (especially anaphase I), homologous chromosomes are pulled apart, not sister chromatids, so this stage is different from mitosis.
Recognize that meiosis II (especially anaphase II) involves the separation of sister chromatids, similar to what happens in mitosis.
Conclude that the stage of meiosis most similar to mitosis in terms of sister chromatid separation is meiosis II, particularly anaphase II.
