During Which Stage Do Homologous Chromosomes Move Away from Each

Question

During which stage do homologous chromosomes move away from each other?
A)metaphase II
B)anaphase II
C)anaphase I
D)metaphase I
E)prophase

Accepted Answer

During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated and moved away from each other. This is in contrast to anaphase II, which separates sister chromatids. Metaphase I and II are stages where chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, and prophase is a stage where the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
