Single Choice
In meiosis, the daughter chromatids segregate form each other at ______________.
AAnaphase-I
BAnaphase-II
Correct Answer
CPartially at anaphase-I and partially at anaphase-II

Solution
In anaphase I, the homologues are pulled apart and move apart to opposite ends of the cell. The sister chromatids of each chromosome, however, remain attached to one another and don't come apart.
Anaphase II is the stage when sister chromatids of every chromosome separate and begin to move towards the opposite ends of the cell. The separation and the movement is due to the shortening of the kinetochore microtubules.
So, the correct option is 'B'.
