Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell.
Recall that meiosis consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each division has its own stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) are separated. This is different from mitosis, where sister chromatids are separated.
In Meiosis II, the process is similar to mitosis. During Anaphase II, the sister chromatids are finally separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell.
Therefore, the stage of meiosis where sister chromatids separate is Anaphase II, as this is when the chromatids are pulled apart, resulting in individual chromosomes moving to opposite ends of the cell.
