Q. Give the name of the phases of meiosis, in which I. the chromosome number is reduced to haploid state II. the amount of DNA is reduced to haploid state The correct option is
A) Anaphase-II; anaphase-I
B) Anaphase-I, metaphase-II
C) Anaphase-I, anaphase-II
D) Anaphase-II, metaphase-I
Explanation
Anaphase-I, anaphase-II. In anaphase-I chromosome become half in number. Chromosomes split and move to opposite ends of the cell, both in anaphase-I and anaphase-II. The difference is that in anaphase-I, homologous pairs of chromosomes are split and in anaphase-II, sister chromatids are split
