Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase of meiosis? Sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cells
A
Metaphase 1
B
anaphase 1
C
prophase 2
D
anaphase 2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During anaphase II, microtubules from each spindle attach to each sister chromatid at the kinetochore. The sister chromatids then separate, and the microtubules pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome’s sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are separated. In prometaphase II, microtubules attach to the kinetochores of sister chromatids, and the sister chromatids are arranged at the midpoint of the cells in metaphase II. In anaphase II, the sister chromatids are separated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase II is the stage when sister chromatids of every chromosome separate and begin to move towards the opposite ends of the cell. The separation and the movement is due to the shortening of the kinetochore microtubules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaphase II – In this phase of meiosis II, there is a simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome and the sister chromatids are pulled away towards the opposite poles. As the chromatids move towards the poles, the kinetochore is at the leading edge with the chromosomal arms trailing.
