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

  1. Telophase II
  2. Metaphase I
  3. Metaphase II
  4. Anaphase II

Answer

(4) Anaphase II

Solution

As per NCERT, anaphase II begins with the simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome (which was holding the sister chromatids together), allowing them to move toward opposite poles of the cell by shortening of microtubules attached to kinetochores.

(In anaphase I the centromeres do not split; homologous chromosomes separate.)
