Question Detail
Question
During this stage, the sister chromatids begin to separate: a. Metaphase II b. Anaphase I c. Prophase II d. Prophase I
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II of meiosis, not during anaphase I (where homologous chromosomes separate). They also separate during anaphase of mitosis. Of the options given, Metaphase II precedes the separation, but the question asks 'during this stage'. Anaphase II is the stage where they separate, but it's not listed. Metaphase II is the stage just before separation.
Hint
The stage where they are pulled apart is anaphase II.
