So that's anaphase.

This is anaphase I.

So this is anaphase I.

And they the key here this is the difference between anaphase II and anaphase I.

It's just like anaphase in mitosis.

Now we're going to enter anaphase I.

So in anaphase let me write that down.

Now, anaphase I is interesting, because remember, in mitosis in anaphase, the actual chromatids, the sister chromatids separated from each other.

In mitosis you have prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Now, in anaphase Il, we don't have homologous pairs.

That's not the case in anaphase I here in meiosis.

And then you can guess what happens in anaphase Il.

Now, those are separated, which is very similar to anaphase in mitosis.

Anaphase I, the homologous pairs were broken up, but the chromosomes themselves were not.

So after metaphase, now we're ready to pull the stuff apart, and that's anaphase.

You have prophase Il, followed by metaphase Il, followed by anaphase Il, followed by telophase.

Anaphase has always involved the pulling apart of the chromosomes or pulling apart of something.

In fact, the prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase also exist in each of these phases of meiosis.

So it's analogous to anaphase in mitosis, but the key difference is you're pulling apart homologous pairs.

We have a video on it where we go into the phases of it prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

So when we enter anaphase I, you have just the homologous pairs separate, so the chromatids stay with their sister chromatids.

In meiosis, you experience these in each stage, so you have to prophase I, followed by metaphase I, followed by anaphase I, followed by telophase I.

So if you really just want to memorize the names, which you unfortunately have to do in this, especially if you're going to get tested on it, although it's not that important to kind of understand the concept of what's happening, you just have to remember prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and it'll really cover everything.
