C
Prophase I
D
Anaphase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the two divisions in meiosis: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each has distinct stages where chromosomes behave differently.
Understand that in Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, but sister chromatids remain together. This separation happens during Anaphase I.
In Meiosis II, the process resembles mitosis, where sister chromatids finally separate and move to opposite poles.
Identify that the stage in Meiosis II where sister chromatids separate is called Anaphase II.
Therefore, the correct answer is Anaphase II, as this is the stage when sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
