How does prophase II in meiosis II differ from prophase I in meiosis I?

Options

  1. AProphase II is similar to normal mitosis
  2. BProphase I is similar to normal mitosis
  3. CProphase I is shorter than Prophase II
  4. DProphase II is shorter than Prophase I

Correct answer

A. Prophase II is similar to normal mitosis

Step-by-step solution

meiosis II is initiated immediately after cytokinesis, usually before the chromosomes have fully elongated. In contrast to meiosis I, meiosis II resembles a normal mitosis and the Prophase II stage in meiosis II is similar to the Prophase stage in normal mitosis. The nuclear membrane disappears by the end of prophase II The chromosomes again become compact. Metaphase II: At this stage the chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores (Figur
