O
B. The spindle fibers are pulling the sister chromatids apart to
opposite sides of the cells.
O
C. The spindle fibers are pushing the tetrads toward the center of the
cells,
O
D. The spindle fibers are pulling the tetrads apart to opposite sides of
the cells.

Answer 1

B. The spindle fibers are pulling the sister chromatids apart to oppositesides of the cells.

Explanation:

• In meiosis, a single cell is dividing two times and forming four different haploid cells (n).

• Meiosis will produce gametes( sperms and eggs) through sexual reproduction.

• Meiosis has two cell division stages.
• In meiosis one, which is the first round of cell division where the        homologous chromosomes ( they are pair of chromosome from the parents but each allele are different since both are coming from mother and father) but  are separating each other.

• In meiosis two, which is the second round of cell division where the sister chromatids ( Identical copies of chromatids formed after the DNA replication) get separate each other by spindle fibres).
