Recall the two main divisions in meiosis: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, while Meiosis II separates sister chromatids.
Identify the key events in each phase of meiosis. In Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles, but sister chromatids remain together.
Understand that in Anaphase II, the sister chromatids finally separate and move to opposite poles of the cell, similar to what happens in mitosis.
Review the other phases mentioned: Metaphase II is when sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate, and Telophase I is when the cell completes the first division and chromosomes reach the poles.
Conclude that the phase characterized by the separation of sister chromatids to opposite poles is Anaphase II.
