Question

number correct: 7 number incorrect: 2 which phase of meiosis is shown to the right? a. prophase i b. telophase ii c. anaphase ii d. metaphase i replay! click to choose your answer below:

Explanation:

To determine the meiosis phase, analyze each option:

• A. Prophase I: Homologous chromosomes pair (synapsis), forming tetrads. The image shows paired chromosomes (a bivalent), consistent with Prophase I.
• B. Telophase II: Involves nuclear envelope reformation and cell division completion, with haploid cells; no paired chromosomes here.
• C. Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate; chromosomes are not paired or separating in this way.
• D. Metaphase I: Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate, not just paired in the nucleus.

The paired chromosomes (synapsed) in the nucleus match Prophase I.

Answer:

A. Prophase I
