Question

c. anaphase i
a. during anaphase i,

• this step reduces the chromosomes number in each resulting cell by half, transitioning it from diploid to haploid
• hint* a for anaphase = a for moving away

Explanation:

This describes a key event of Anaphase I in meiosis, where homologous chromosome pairs separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. This separation is what halves the chromosome count, leading to haploid daughter cells.

Answer:

the homologous chromosome pairs separate and move to opposite spindle poles
