Which of the following correctly describes the events that occur during metaphase I and anaphase I of meiosis?

• Paired homologous chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and then the homologous pairs of chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

• Paired homologous chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and the individual chromatids are pulled apart forming four cells.

• Replicated chromosomes pair with their corresponding homologous chromosome and then crossing over occurs.

• The separated chromosomes cluster at opposite ends of the cell and the cell splits into two cells.

What is the correct order of events that occur during meiosis?

• Cytokinesis, Prophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase I, Metaphase II, Anaphase I, Anaphase II, Telophase I, Telophase II, Cytokinesis

• Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Cytokinesis, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Cytokinesis

• Prophase I, Metaphase II, Anaphase I, Telophase II, Cytokinesis, Prophase II, Metaphase I, Anaphase II, Telophase I, Cytokinesis

• Telophase I, Cytokinesis, Prophase I, Anaphase I, Metaphase I, Prophase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Metaphase II, Cytokinesis
