Which of the following stages of meiosis involves division of centromere?
Metaphase I
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II
To solve this problem, we need to identify the stage of meiosis where the division of centromeres occurs. Let's analyze the stages:Metaphase I: - During metaphase I, homologous chromosomes align at the metaphase plate. - The centromeres do not divide at this stage.Metaphase II: - In metaphase II, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate similar to mitosis. - However, the centromeres still do not divide at this stage.Anaphase II: - During anaphase II, the centromeres divide, allowing sister chromatids to separate and move to opposite poles. - This is the stage where the division of centromeres occurs.Telophase II: - In telophase II, the separated chromatids reach the poles, and the cell prepares to divide. - The centromeres have already divided in the previous stage.Therefore, the correct stage where the division of centromeres occurs is Anaphase II.This corresponds to Option 3.
