Questions and Answers

During which stage of meiosis II do nuclear membranes reform around the chromatids?

  • Metaphase II
  • Telophase II (correct)
  • Prophase II
  • Anaphase II

In Anaphase II, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.

False (B)

What is the primary event that occurs during Cytokinesis in Meiosis II?

The cytoplasm splits, leading to four daughter cells being formed.

In Metaphase II, chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell at the ______ plate.

Match the stages of Meiosis II with their key events:

<p>Prophase II = Chromatin condenses and chromosomes become visible; the nucleus disappears. Metaphase II = Chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell at the equatorial plate. Anaphase II = Identical chromatids separate and each move to an opposite side of the cell. Telophase II = Nuclear membranes reform around the chromatids.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Steps of Meiosis II

  • Stages occurring in meiosis II are outlined.
  • Prophase II: Chromatin condenses, and chromosomes become visible, the nucleus disappears.
  • Metaphase II: Chromosomes align along the middle of the cell at the equatorial plate.
  • Anaphase II: Identical chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.
  • Telophase II: Nuclear membranes reform around the chromatids.
  • Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm splits, resulting in the formation of four daughter cells.
  • Mitosis enables an organism to grow and recover from injury.
  • Meiosis is used to make gametes for sexual reproduction.
