Question

If $2n = 4$, then identify the figures $A, B$ and $C$, as per the following codes and select the correct option. Anaphase of meiosis 1 = (i) Anaphase of mitosis = (ii) Anaphase meiosis II =(iii)

• A. $A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii)$
• B. $A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i)$
• C. $A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iii)$
• D. $A-(iii), B-(i), C-(ii)$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii)$

Answer 2

During anaphase of mitosis, each chromosome arranged at metaphase plate is split and two daughter chromatids are formed. Centromeres split and chromatids move to opposite poles. During anaphase $I$ of meiosis $I$, the homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres. Anaphase $II$ of meiosis $II$ begins with simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome allowing them to move towards opposite poles of the cell.
