The genus Lacerta is composed of a species of lizards that are female and do not mate. They undergo "endomitosis" where one extra chromosome replication results in a tetraploid cell before meiosis begins. Normal female 2n offspring result without fertilization. What change(s) from regular meiosis (in preparation for fertilization) would be required to produce this system?
A) The haploid cell products of meiosis II fuse.
B) Meiosis stops after meiosis I and does not proceed to meiosis II.
C) Cytokinesis does not follow "endomitosis" that results in a tetraploid cell.
D) During anaphase II, the sister centromeres fail to separate and daughter cells will not form.
E) During anaphase II, the daughter chromosomes are non-disjunctive and are all pulled to one daughter cell.
