Meiosis II is similar to mitosis in that ____________
A. Homologous chromosome synapse B. Sister chromatids separate during anaphase C. The chromosome number is reduced D. The daughter cells are diploid
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Yes, during the second anaphase of the meiotic cell division, the centromere splits to allow the sister chromatids to separate and move towards opposite poles. This is similar to what happens in the mitotic anaphase. Please note that in the first anaphase of the meiotic division, homologous chromosomes, cach comprising two chromatids, are the ones that move towards the opposite poles.
