The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Anaphase I**: In Anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated and pulled towards opposite poles of the cell. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids at this stage. 2. **Chromatid Composition**: Each chromosome in Anaphase I is still composed of two chromatids. This is because, during meiosis, the homologous chromosomes are separated, but the sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres. 3. **Evaluating Options**: - **Option 1: 1 chromatid** - This is incorrect because in Anaphase I, chromosomes still consist of two chromatids. - **Option 2: 2 chromatids** - This is correct, as each chromosome is still made up of two chromatids during Anaphase I. - **Option 3: 4 chromatids** - This is incorrect because it misrepresents the number of chromatids per chromosome. - **Option 4: Monochromatid** - This is also incorrect, as it suggests a single chromatid, which does not apply to Anaphase I. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that in Anaphase I, each chromosome is composed of **2 chromatids**.
