Question

the figure below shows stages of a single homologous pair going through meiosis. answer the following questions about this diagram. which image represents anaphase i of meiosis? which image represents anaphase ii of meiosis? which image represents prophase i of meiosis? which image represents metaphase ii of meiosis? which images show a diploid cell?

Explanation:

In anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate. Image I shows this separation. In anaphase II, sister - chromatids separate, as shown in Image II. Prophase I is when homologous chromosomes pair up and crossing - over occurs, depicted in Image III. Metaphase II has sister - chromatids lined up at the equator, shown in Image V. Diploid cells have pairs of homologous chromosomes. Images I, II, III, IV, and V all show cells that are either in the process of meiosis in a diploid organism or are diploid cells at different stages.

Answer:

Which image represents anaphase I of meiosis? I
Which image represents anaphase II of meiosis? II
Which image represents prophase I of meiosis? III
Which image represents metaphase II of meiosis? V
Which images show a diploid cell? I, II, III, IV, and V
