Question

select the correct statement(s) about meiosis. the two daughter cells produced by meiosis i still have the two complete sets of chromosomes as a diploid cell does. after meiosis ii, the four daughter cells contain the diploid number of chromosomes. during anaphase ii, the paired chromatids separate. during meiosis i, homologous chromosomes separate. at the end of meiosis i two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair.

Explanation:

• Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, producing 2 haploid daughter cells (each with one chromosome from each homologous pair, not diploid).
• Meiosis II separates sister chromatids, resulting in 4 haploid cells (not diploid).
• Anaphase II involves separation of sister chromatids (paired chromatids), and meiosis I involves separation of homologous chromosomes.

Answer:

During anaphase II, the paired chromatids separate.
During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate.
At the end of meiosis I two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair.
