AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Metaphase II: Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate. Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell. Telophase II: Newly forming gametes are haploid, and each chromosome now has just one chromatid.

Detailed explanation-2: -The paired chromosomes line up along the equator (middle) of the cell. This occurs only in metaphase I. In metaphase of mitosis and meiosis II, it is sister chromatids that line up along the equator of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -During metaphase II, the centromeres of the paired chromatids align along the equatorial plate in both cells. Then in anaphase II, the chromosomes separate at the centromeres. The spindle fibers pull the separated chromosomes toward each pole of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metaphase II: During metaphase, each of the 23 chromosomes line up along the center of the cell at the metaphase plate.

Detailed explanation-5: -During metaphase I, all of the doubled homologous chromosome pairs line up along the midline of the cell between the two centrioles. During anaphase I, the homologous chromosome pairs separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers attached to the centrioles.
