Multiple Choice
Separation of sister chromatids occurs during which stage of meiosis?
A
Metaphase I
B
Anaphase II
C
Prophase II
D
Anaphase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the stages of meiosis and what key events occur in each stage. Meiosis consists of two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Understand that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, specifically during Anaphase I.
Recognize that sister chromatids remain together during Meiosis I and are only separated during Meiosis II.
Identify that the separation of sister chromatids happens during Anaphase II, where the chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles.
Therefore, the correct stage for the separation of sister chromatids is Anaphase II.
