You are examining a cell under the microscope and see what appear to be four sister chromatids bound together and remnants of the nuclear envelope. What stage of meiosis are you looking at?

A) prophase I
B) prophase II
C) metaphase I
D) metaphase II
E) telophase I

Sister Chromatids

Identical copies of a chromosome that are connected by a centromere and separated during cell division.

Nuclear Envelope

The double membrane structure that encloses the nucleus of a cell, separating its contents from the cytoplasm.

Meiosis

A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell and from each other.
