Question

What happens in meiosis during anaphase 1?

Answer 1

During anaphase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. This is accomplished by the spindle fibers that attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes and pull them apart. The result is two daughter cells, each with one set of chromosomes.

Answer 2

During anaphase 1 of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. The sister chromatids remain attached to each other and move together to the same pole.
