Question

During which phase of meiosis are sister chromatids separated and pulled to opposite sides of the cell?

telophase of meiosis I


prophase of meiosis II


anaphase of meiosis II


metaphase of meiosis I

Answer 1

anaphase of meiosis II

Step-by-step explanation:

The sister chromatids are pulled apart by the shortening of the spindle fibers. This is like reeling in a fish by shortening the fishing line. One sister chromatid moves to one pole of the cell, and the other sister chromatid moves to the opposite pole. At the end of anaphase, each pole of the cell has a complete set of chromosomes.
