Identify the meiotic stage in which the homologous chromosomes separate while the sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres?
-
- Metaphase I
- Metaphase II
- Anaphase I
- Anaphase II
Correct Option: C
Anaphase I begins when the two chromosomes of each bivalent (tetrad) separate and start moving toward opposite poles of the cell as a result of the action of the spindle. In anaphase I, the sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres and move together toward the poles.
