Which of the following stages of meiosis involves division of centromere?
Options
- AMetaphase I
- BMetaphase II
- CAnaphase II
- DTelophase II
Correct answer
C. Anaphase II
Step-by-step solution
Anaphase II of meiosis II begins with the simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome (which was holding the sister chromatids together). This causes them to move towards opposite poles of the cell. During anaphase I of meiosis, there is no splitting of centromere.
