At which stage of meiosis do sister chromatids finally separate?

AAnaphase I
BProphase II
CAnaphase II
DMetaphase I
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Anaphase II
1. Anaphase I pulls the homologous chromosomes apart but leaves the chromatids joined. 2. In meiosis II each sister chromatid gets its own kinetochore. 3. Anaphase II is when the kinetochore microtubules pull those chromatids to opposite poles. 4. That final separation is what gives four haploid cells. _Source: OpenStax Biology 1e (CC BY 4.0), Chs 10 and 11, section 11.1 The Process of Meiosis_
