Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase of meiosis? Pairs of homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell, sister chromatids stay together
A
anaphase 1
B
anaphase 2
C
telophase
D
telophase 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During anaphase I, the microtubules disassemble and contract; this, in turn, separates the homologous chromosomes such that the two chromosomes in each pair are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell (Figure 3).

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase I: In anaphase I, the attachment of the spindle fibers is complete. The homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and move towards opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase I, the homologues are pulled apart and move apart to opposite ends of the cell. The sister chromatids of each chromosome, however, remain attached to one another and don’t come apart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome’s sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II.
