D) anaphase II
E) telophase I

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II of meiosis. This is when the spindle fibers pull each chromatid towards the opposite poles of the cell. In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate, but sister chromatids are still attached. Prophase II and metaphase II involve the reorganization of chromosomes, but not the separation of sister chromatids. Telophase I is the final stage of meiosis I, when the cytoplasm divides and two haploid daughter cells are formed, but it is not when sister chromatids separate.
