Fig.1: Anaphase I

Anaphase I comes after metaphase I in meiosis. In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are segregated from each other. Centromere is intact in this stage. Homologous chromosomes are pulled from each other with the help of spindle fibers.

Fig.2: Metaphase I

Metaphase I comes after prophase I of meiosis. During this metaphase II, homologous chromosomes align themselves along the equatorial plate, also known as the metaphase plate. These homologous chromosomes are later separated in anaphase I.

Fig.3: Anaphase II

Anaphase II comes after metaphase II in meiosis. During this anaphase II, spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids towards the poles and sister chromatids are segregated from

each other. It is similar to anaphase of mitosis.

Fig.4: Metaphase II

Metaphase II comes after prophase II of meiosis. During this metaphase II, sister chromatids align themselves along the equatorial plate, also known as the metaphase plate. These sister chromatids are later separated in anaphase II.

Conclusion

Meiosis consists of two stages; meiosis I and meiosis II. Both these stages have anaphase and metaphase stages.
