Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase: During anaphase, the centromere splits, allowing the sister chromatids to separate.
Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -During mitosis the sister chromatids separate and go to opposite ends of the dividing cell. Mitosis ends with 2 identical cells, each with 2N chromosomes and 2X DNA content. All eukaryotic cells replicate via mitosis, except germline cells that undergo meiosis (see below) to produce gametes (eggs and sperm).
