alleryIn meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate during:
AAnaphase II
BProphase II
CAnaphase I (chromosome number halved: 2n → n)
DMetaphase I
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Anaphase I (chromosome number halved: 2n → n)
**Anaphase I:** homologous chromosomes (each consisting of 2 sister chromatids) separate to opposite poles. Reductional division.
**Anaphase II:** sister chromatids separate (like mitotic anaphase).
**Hence 4 haploid products.**
