Which statement correctly describes the difference between meiosis I and meiosis II?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Meiosis I results in two haploid (N) daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter cells.
 
Meiosis I
 Prophase I- Synapsis occurs (each pair of chromatids joins its homologous pair and forms a tetrad) (group of 4 chromatids); Recombination occurs ("crossing over", pieces of tetrad twist around and exchange segments
 Metaphase I- Tetrads line up along the equator of the cell
 Anaphase I- Non-disjunction occurs- chromosome pairs separate
 Telophase I- cells divide and 2 haploid daughter cells are formed
 
Meiosis II
 Prophase II- Chromosomes move toward the middle of the cell
 Metaphase II- Chromosomes line up at the equator
 Anaphase II- Chromosomes separate into chromatids
 Telophase II- both daughter cells divide and 4 haplod cells are formed

Meiosis I separates tetrads, and meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
