Question

multiple-choice question
what happens in anaphase ii
the homologous pairs are pulled apart to opposite sides
the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides
the chromosomes are lined back up in the middle of the cell

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes anaphase I (homologous pairs separate).
• The second option: In anaphase II of meiosis, sister chromatids (which are now considered individual chromosomes) are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
• The third option describes metaphase (chromosomes line up at the equator).

So the correct event for anaphase II is the separation of sister chromatids.

Answer:

The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides
