Question

question 17
what stage of meiosis is shown in this photo?
telophase i
telophase ii
metaphase i
anaphase i
anaphase ii
metaphase ii

Explanation:

In meiosis, Anaphase I is characterized by the separation of homologous chromosomes. The image shows homologous chromosomes (distinguishable by color or size - here yellow and red) moving to opposite poles of the cell. Telophase I would show chromosomes at the poles with possible nuclear envelope re - formation. Telophase II is the final stage of meiosis II with four haploid cells forming. Metaphase I has homologous chromosomes lined up at the equator. Anaphase II involves sister chromatid separation (not homologous chromosomes). Metaphase II has single chromosomes (after sister chromatid separation in Anaphase I) lined up at the equator.

Answer:

Anaphase I
