Q.

Which of the following stages of meiosis involves division of centromere?

  1. A

    Metaphase I

  2. B

    Metaphase II

  3. C

    Anaphase II

  4. D

    Telophase

Solution

Centromere splitting (so sister chromatids can separate) occurs in anaphase of mitosis and in anaphase II of meiosis. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate without centromere division — that is reserved for the equational anaphase II.
