Answer:
Pulling apart or separation of sister chromatids
Step-by-step explanation:
Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is the cell division that leads to formation of gametes to enable sexual reproduction. Division occurs twice during meiosis because before the two halves of a duplicated chromosome called sister chromatids separate, it still needs to separate homologous chromosome, which is a similar but non-identical pair of chromosome received from both parents. Hence, meiosis occurs in a two step division process i.e. Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Meiosis II is the mitotic division of each of the haploid cells produced in meiosis I. Note that, homologous chromosomes separate in anaphase I of meiosis I, and further undergoes cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) to produce two haploid (reduced number of chromosomes) daughter cells.
During anaphase of meiosis II, the individual chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate at the centromeres (point of attachment between two sister chromatids). The separated chromosomes are pulled apart towards each pole of the cell by the spindle fibres.
