Chromatid becomes "Monad" in:
Correct answer: A. Telophase II
- A. Telophase II
- B. Anaphase I
- C. Prophase II
- D. Metaphase II
- E. Anaphase II
Explanation
In meiosis, the process of forming gametes, chromatids become 'monads' during Telophase II. At the beginning of meiosis, chromosomes are composed of two sister chromatids. During Anaphase II, these chromatids are pulled apart, and by Telophase II, they are considered individual chromosomes, or monads, as the nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes. This marks the end of meiosis II, resulting in four haploid cells. Other stages like Anaphase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, and Anaphase II do not see chromatids become monads as this specific transformation occurs after chromatids have been fully separated into distinct nuclei.
