A
Anaphase II
B
Anaphase I
C
Telophase I
D
Metaphase II
Verified step by step guidance
1
Recall the stages of meiosis, which consists of two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase stages.
Understand that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are separated and pulled to opposite poles, specifically during Anaphase I.
Recognize that sister chromatids remain together during Anaphase I and are only separated during Meiosis II.
Identify that in Meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated during Anaphase II and move to opposite poles of the cell.
Conclude that the stage where sister chromatids separate and travel to opposite poles is Anaphase II.
