Answer: Mitosis anaphase (anaphase II).
- A Meiosis I anaphase separation
- B Mitosis anaphase (anaphase II)
- C Prophase I synapsis stage
- D Metaphase I alignment stage
Correct answer: B. Mitosis anaphase (anaphase II)
Explanation: Meiosis II separates sister chromatids exactly like mitosis (anaphase II = mitotic anaphase), producing haploid cells.
The cell cycle: G1 (growth and preparation), S (DNA replication, chromosome number stays 2n but DNA content doubles), G2 (final checks before division), and M (mitosis itself) - together, G1+S+G2 make up interphase.
