During anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes in each bivalent split apart and migrate to opposite poles of the cell due to spindle activity, while the sister chromatids stay connected at their centromeres and travel together toward the poles. Is this statement accurate?

1. True
2. False
3. Partially true
4. None of the above

Correct answer: True

Solution

In anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes (not sister chromatids) separate and move to opposite poles, while sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres. This makes the statement true.
