Which statement correctly describes Meiosis II?

Which statement correctly describes Meiosis II?

• A. DNA replication occurs
• B. Spindle disassembles
• C. Occurs at approximately the same time in each haploid daughter cell
• D. Occurs during interphase

Answer: (C)

Meiosis II is the division that separates sister chromatids in the two haploid cells produced after meiosis I, and there is no DNA replication between the two divisions. Because the two haploid cells proceed through prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II in parallel, the events occur at roughly the same time in each cell, leading to four haploid products. This coordinated timing is why the statement about happening at approximately the same time in each haploid daughter cell is correct. The other options don’t fit because DNA replication does not occur during Meiosis II, the spindle dynamics aren’t simply described as disassembling during this stage, and Meiosis II does not proceed through a full interphase with DNA replication between divisions.
