Which of the following is the best description of the events occuring during anaphase I of meiosis?

a. Half of the chromosomes inherited from the mother go to one pole along with half of the chromosomes inherited from the father.

b. All of the chromosomes inherited from the mother go to one pole of the cell, and all of the chromosomes inherited from the father go to the other pole.

c. Homologous chromosomes randomly separate and migrate to opposite poles.

d. Sister chromatids separate and the daughter chromosomes migrate to opposite poles.

The best description of the events occurring during Ana-phase I of meiosis:

c. Homologous chromosomes randomly separate and migrate to opposite poles.

Explanation:

Meiosis:

It is such type of cell division that occur in animals, plants resulting in four daughter cells and each of daughter cell have the half number of chromosomes from the parent cell.

Anaphase is one of important phases of meiosis. The option a is incorrect as chromosomes go randomly to opposite poles. The option b is incorrect as all of chromosomes inherited from mother and father goes randomly to opposite poles. The option c is correct as it is the true description of anaphase I of meiosis. The option d is incorrect as the sister chromatids don't separate rather they remain joined.
