Question

Choose the statement that is not true for meiosis 2.

(a) Doubled chromosomes line along equatorial plate

(b) Karyokinesis is followed y cytokinesis

(c) The chromosome number is reduced

(d) The anaphase chromosomes start to spate from the centre

The question was asked during an interview for a job.

Query is from Meiosis 1 Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase in chapter Chromosomal Changes During Meiosis of Cytogenetics

Answer 1

Right option is (c) The chromosome number is reduced

For explanation I would say: In meiosis 2 the chromosome number remains the same as this is not a reduction division. The meiosis 1 was the reduction division. Karyokinesis is followed by cytokinesis and the anaphase like mitotic anaphase has chromosomes separating starting at the centromere.
