Which phase of meiosis do sister chromatids pull apart and move to opposite ends of the cell?
Sister chromatids are pulled apart from each other during the anaphase II stage of meiosis II. From there the chromatids are taken to opposite poles of the cell and create two haploid cells.
What is the function of cell hormones sensitive lipase?
Hydrolyzes triglycerides to provide fatty acids for other cells
