Unit 5 Review - Cell Growth & Division 11.4: Compare metaphase of meiosis I with metaphase of meiosis II in terms of number and arrangement of the chromosomes: In metaphase of meiosis square chromosomes line up in the cell in square in metaphase of meiosis II square replicated chromosomes line up and one square goes each way in anaphase II. : homologous : sister chromatid pairs : single

## Step 1<br />The question is asking us to compare the metaphase of meiosis I with the metaphase of meiosis II in terms of the number and arrangement of chromosomes. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />In metaphase of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes line up in the cell. These chromosomes are pairs of similar but not identical chromosomes that make up part of the human karyotype. <br /><br />## Step 3<br />In metaphase of meiosis II, sister chromatids line up. These are replicated chromosomes that are identical to each other. <br /><br />## Step 4<br />During anaphase II, one sister chromatid goes each way. This is different from anaphase I, where homologous chromosomes separate.
