![**Distinguishing Meiosis I from Meiosis II**
**How do you know what is meiosis I and what is meiosis II?**
Here are some hints to help you determine how to identify if a cell is undergoing meiosis I or meiosis II.
- In prophase I and metaphase I, the chromosomes are found in their homologous pairs. In prophase II and metaphase II, there are single duplicated chromosomes.
- In anaphase I and telophase I, the chromosomes are duplicated (shaped like Xs). In anaphase II and telophase II, the chromosomes are not duplicated.
**Take a look at the picture, and then answer the questions**
*Diagram Description:*
The diagram depicts a cell with chromosomes aligned at the metaphase plate, attached to spindle fibers extending from opposite poles. The chromosomes are arranged in pairs, suggesting homologous pairing.
**In what phase of meiosis is this cell?**
- ○ metaphase I
- ○ prophase II
- ○ metaphase II
- ○ prophase I](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe534a234-740f-4775-bdd1-880dfd91f34a%2F5767bc16-532b-4e5c-bc15-9d3105b9d91e%2Fvj0fc8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
