At which stage of meiosis are sister chromatids separated?
A
Prophase II
B
Anaphase I
C
Metaphase I
D
Anaphase II
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the main events of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
Identify the stages of meiosis I: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I. During Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart, but sister chromatids remain together.
Identify the stages of meiosis II: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, and Telophase II. During Anaphase II, sister chromatids are finally separated and pulled to opposite poles.
Compare the options given: Prophase II, Anaphase I, Metaphase I. None of these stages involve the separation of sister chromatids.
Conclude that the correct stage for sister chromatid separation is Anaphase II, which is not listed among the options but is the correct answer.
