D
Telophase I
Verified step by step guidance
1
Recall the main events of meiosis I and meiosis II, focusing on the behavior of chromosomes and chromatids during each phase.
Understand that in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are separated, while sister chromatids remain together.
Identify that Anaphase I is when homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles, but sister chromatids do not separate yet.
Recognize that meiosis II resembles mitosis, where sister chromatids finally separate and move to opposite poles during Anaphase II.
Conclude that the phase during which sister chromatids move to opposite poles is Anaphase II.
