Question

Anna and Louis are talking about this diagram.

Anna says that the image is of anaphase I, and Louis says the image is of anaphase II. Which statement best describes who is correct?


Anna is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart, which happens in anaphase I.


Louis is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart in two haploid cells, which indicates anaphase II.


They are both correct because the process of anaphase is the same in meiosis I and meiosis II.


Neither is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart, which happens in metaphase.


~conceal you feeling~

Answer 1

B: Louis is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart in two haploid cells, which indicates anaphase II.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Louis is correct because the chromosomes are being pulled apart in two haploid cells, which indicates anaphase II.

Step-by-step explanation:

During anaphase 1, bivalents separate and move onto the opposite poles. Hence, Anna is not correct.

During anaphase 2, the chromosomes separate and are pulled to the opposite sides. Hence, Louis is correct.

Option C is incorrect because the process of anaphase is different in meiosis 1 and 2. During meiosis 1, the tetrads get separated and during meiosis 2 the chromosomes get separated.

Option D is incorrect because chromosomes align during the metaphase and are not separated in this phase.
