Question

in which phase of meiosis do sister chromatids separate from one another?
a metaphase i
b anaphase ii
c metaphase i and ii
d anaphase i and ii

Explanation:

• Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes align at the cell's equator, not sister chromatids separation.
• Anaphase II: Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
• Metaphase I and II: In Metaphase I, homologous chromosomes align; in Metaphase II, chromosomes (with sister chromatids) align. No sister - chromatid separation here.
• Anaphase I and II: In Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate; in Anaphase II, sister chromatids separate. But the question is specifically about sister chromatids.

Answer:

B. Anaphase II
