Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of meiosis, which consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Recall that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, not sister chromatids. This is a key distinction from mitosis.
In Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles, but sister chromatids remain together.
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis, where the sister chromatids are finally separated.
During Anaphase II, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles, which is the phase where they separate.
