Which statement about sister chromatids is false? They separate from each other during meiosis I. They are joined during prophase I and metaphase I at their common centromere. They separate from each other during each mitotic anaphase. They arise by replication during S phase. They usually contain identical versions of the same genetic information.

The correct answer will be They separate from each other during meiosis I.

Explanation:

A sister chromatid is the exact copy of the DNA which is synthesized during the S phase by the process of DNA replication. Since the chromatid is formed through the process of DNA replication therefore it contains the identical genetic information of the parent DNA.

The sister chromatids join to another similar chromatid through a common centromere during the prophase I of the meiosis I which gets separated from each other during anaphase II of meiosis II.

Since, the homologous chromosomes gest separated during the anaphase I of meiosis I and not sister chromatids which get separated during anaphase II therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.
