Which of the following stages of meiosis involves division of centromere?

Which of the following stages of meiosis involves division of centromere?
  1. Metaphase I
  2. Metaphase II
  3. Anaphase II
  4. Telophase II

Solution

Anaphase II of meiosis II begins with the simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome (which was holding the sister chromatids together). This causes them to move towards opposite poles of the cell. During anaphase I of meiosis, there is no splitting of centromere.
