During which phase of meiosis do the sister chromatids move apart toward opposite poles of the cell?
A
Anaphase II
B
Telophase I
C
Anaphase I
D
Metaphase II
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the two main divisions in meiosis: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each has distinct phases where chromosomes behave differently.
Understand that during Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are pulled apart to opposite poles, but sister chromatids remain together.
Recognize that during Anaphase II, the sister chromatids finally separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Note that Telophase I is the phase following Anaphase I, where the cell prepares to divide, but sister chromatids have not yet separated.
Metaphase II is the stage where sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate, but they have not yet moved apart.
