Which description best defines telophase I in meiosis?

• A. Homologous chromosomes pair (synapsis) to form tetrads and crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids.
• B. Homologous chromosomes finish separating to opposite poles, nuclear envelopes may reform, cytokinesis may occur, and each resulting cell is haploid with sister chromatids still joined.
• C. Sister chromatids separate at the centromeres and move to opposite poles, producing haploid cells with single chromatids.
• D. Chromosomes align individually along the metaphase plate with sister chromatids attached to spindle fibers from opposite poles.

Answer: (B)
