Detailed explanation-1: -During metaphase, the kinetochore microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align along the equator of the cell, called the equatorial plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -During prophase II, sister chromatids align at the center of the cell in singular chromosome structures. These sister chromatids are separated during anaphase II, resulting in a total of four haploid cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metaphase II: During metaphase, each of the 23 chromosomes line up along the center of the cell at the metaphase plate.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two sister chromatids of each chromosome are captured by microtubules from opposite spindle poles. In metaphase II, the chromosomes line up individually along the metaphase plate. In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Metaphase II is the second stage in meiosis II. It follows prophase II, which primarily highlights the condensation of the chromosomes and the movement of centrosomes to polar regions of the cell.
