C
Metaphase II
D
Anaphase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the main stages of meiosis: Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with their own phases (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).
Understand that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are separated, not the sister chromatids themselves.
Recognize that sister chromatids remain attached after Meiosis I and only separate during Meiosis II.
Identify that Anaphase II is the phase in Meiosis II where the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
Therefore, conclude that sister chromatids separate during Anaphase II, not during Prophase I, Metaphase II, or Anaphase I.
