Prophase II Through Telophase II
Captions available
The idea
Meiosis II runs prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II, in which sister chromatids finally separate and four haploid nuclei form.
In practice
The two cells from meiosis I each divide again, so one diploid parent cell yields four haploid products total.
Where people slip
A chromatid becomes its own chromosome only after anaphase II separates it, exactly as in mitotic anaphase.
