At what phase of meiosis there are two cells, each with separated siter chromatids that have been moved to opposite spindle poles?

A

Anaphase II

B

Anaphase I

C

Telophase II

D

Telophase I

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Anaphase II, where the centromeres are cleaved, allows the kinetochores to pull the sister chromatids apart. The sister chromatids by convention are now called sister chromosomes and they are pulled towards opposte poles.
