Hello, Anaphase 1 and 2 are both part of the process of meiosis, the division of sex cells, and they are both phases where chromosomes are being pulled apart by the centrioles. However, in anaphase one the chromosomes are lined up in homologous pairs, meaning that there are two chromosomes side by side, so when the centrioles pull they are separating two unconnected chromosomes. In anaphase two the chromosomes are lined up in single file. So the centrioles are pulling one chromosome apart. It eventually breaks the link at the centromere of the chromosome and results in two sister chromatids.

Hope this is clear enough to understand!

What is the difference between anaphase1 and anaphase2?

Anaphase 1 is the phase in meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. Anaphase 2, on the other hand, is the phase in meiosis where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. Essentially, anaphase 1 involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, while anaphase 2 involves the separation of sister chromatids.

What is the sequence of meiosis?

Meiosis consists of two main stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two haploid cells. In Meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, resulting in four haploid cells.


What is a similarity between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2?

one similarity is the chromosomes in both cells line up at the equator before they split, one difference is in meiosis2 the cells split from two cells into four, while in meiosis1 the singular stretches apart and splits to form two new daughter cells.
