Generally, anaphase I involve separating the chromosomes from each sister chromatid to the opposite poles still attached to the microtubules of the cell while anaphase 2 involves the actual split of the sister chromatids into single chromatids.

What separates during anaphase 1 of meiosis?

In anaphase I, centromeres break down and homologous chromosomes separate. In telophase I, chromosomes move to opposite poles; during cytokinesis the cell separates into two haploid cells.

Which of the following are separating during anaphase I?

Which of the following is separated during anaphase I? Homologous chromosomes are separated in anaphase I and sister chromatids are separated in anaphase II.
