Cell Cycle And Cell Division Question 6
Question: Which of the following stages of meiosis involves division of centromere?
(1) Metaphase I
(2) Metaphase II
(3) Anaphase II
(4) Telophase
Show Answer
Answer: (3) Anaphase II
Explaination-
-
The sister chromatids of each chromosome begin to split and travel to the opposite ends of the cell during the anaphase II stage.
-
The shortening of the kinetochore microtubules causes separation and movement.
-
Telophase II comes before anaphase II.
-
Anaphase II during meiosis is comparable to anaphase during mitosis.
