Question

what phase of meiosis is shown below? a anaphase i b telophase i c prophase ii d telophase ii

Explanation:

• Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles. The image does not show chromosomes moving apart.
• Telophase I: Chromosomes arrive at the poles, and the cell starts to divide. The image shows two nuclei forming, which is characteristic of Telophase I.
• Prophase II: Chromosomes condense again after a brief interphase. The image shows two separate nuclei already formed, not the condensation stage.
• Telophase II: Results in four haploid cells. The image shows two nuclei, not four cells.

Answer:

B. Telophase I
