Question

during which phase of meiosis do the sister chromatids line up across from each other in the center of the cell?
multiple choice
anaphase ii
metaphase i
telophase i
prophase ii
metaphase ii

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Meiosis Phases

Meiosis has two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Step2: Analyze Each Phase

• Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
• Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes line up at the cell's equator.
• Telophase I: Chromosomes arrive at poles and cytokinesis may occur.
• Prophase II: Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down.
• Metaphase II: Sister chromatids line up at the cell's equator (center of the cell).

Answer:

Metaphase II
