Multiple Choice
During anaphase II of meiosis, what separates and moves toward opposite poles of the cell?
A
Centrioles
B
Tetrads
C
Homologous chromosomes
D
Sister chromatids
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the stages of meiosis, focusing on the differences between meiosis I and meiosis II.
Understand that during anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.
Recognize that during anaphase II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move toward opposite poles.
Identify that centrioles are involved in spindle formation but do not separate chromosomes themselves.
Conclude that the correct answer is sister chromatids, as they separate during anaphase II.
