Meiosis II performs (a) separation of sex chromosomes (b) synthesis of DNA and centromere (c) separation of homologous chromosomes (d) separation of chromatids
Option D Meiosis II is shorter than the typical mitotic division because of the shortening of prophase of this division. The division maintains the number of chromosomes produce at the end of reduction division. Hence, it is called homotypic or equational division, though it is similar to mitosis. The main function of homotypic division or meiosis II is to separate the chromatids of univalent chromosomes which differ from each other in their linkage groups due to crossing over.
