Question

which phase of meiosis is shown in the picture? telophase 2 anaphase 2 anaphase 1 telophase 1

Explanation:

Telophase 2 is the final stage of meiosis II. In this phase, the chromosomes de - condense, nuclear envelopes reform around the separated sets of chromosomes, and the cell undergoes cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm). The image shows four distinct cells (resulting from the two - stage division of meiosis), which is characteristic of the end of telophase 2. Anaphase 1 and 2 involve the separation of chromosomes (homologous in anaphase 1 and sister chromatids in anaphase 2) towards the poles. Telophase 1 results in two cells with replicated chromosomes (still in a condensed state in many cases), not the four distinct cells as seen here.

Answer:

telophase 2
