Question

At the metaphase plate during metaphase II of meiosis, there are

• A. chromosomes consisting of one chromatid
• B. unpaired duplicated chromosomes
• C. bivalents (tetrads)
• D. homologous pairs .of chromosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is B unpaired duplicated chromosomes

A Cell in Meiosis II has its DNA content reduced to half. The cell consists only one copy of duplicated chromosomes attached through centromere. Hence in metaphase II also the metaphase plate will consist only one copy of duplicated homologous chromosome.

So the correct answer is 'unpaired duplicated chromosomes'.
