What is the final stage in meiosis?
Options
- AAnaphase II
- BProphase II
- CTelophase II
- DMetaphase II
Correct answer
C. Telophase II
Step-by-step solution
In contrast to meiosis I, meiosis II resembles a normal mitosis. The nuclear membrane disappears by the end of prophase II (Figure 10.4). 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 (Figure 10.4) of sister chromatids. Meiosis ends with telophase II , in which the two groups of chromosomes once again get enclosed by a nuclear envelope; cytokinesis follows resulting in th
