Homologous chromosomes separate from each other in which stage of meiosis?
A
Prophase II
B
Metaphase I
C
Anaphase II
D
Anaphase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the key events of meiosis I and meiosis II, focusing on the behavior of homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids.
Understand that during meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and then separate, while sister chromatids remain together.
Identify that in Anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
Recognize that in meiosis II, specifically Anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate, not the homologous chromosomes.
Conclude that the stage where homologous chromosomes separate is Anaphase I, based on the separation events described.
