The picture illustrated above depicts the metaphase II stage of meiosis.
MEIOSIS:
- Meiosis is a kind of cell division in which four daughter cells, with each possessing a reduced number of chromosomes, are produced.
- Meiosis results is used in sexual reproduction and it results in genetically different daughter cells (gametes).
- Meiosis occurs in a two-step division process namely meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division process is made up of four phases namely: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
- Specifically in metaphase I, pair of homologous chromosomes lie side by side at the cell's equator. However, in metaphase II, as depicted in the diagram above, chromosomes (not pairs) are aligned at the equator.
- Therefore, the picture illustrated above depicts the metaphase II stage of meiosis because chromosomes align at the cell equator.
