Question

Select the correct option:

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

The correct option is A A - (ii), B - (i), C - (iii)

During anaphase or 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 a simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosomes allowing them to move towards the opposite of the cell.

So, the correct answer is 'A - (ii), B - (i), C - (iii)'.
