when do sister chromatids separate in meiosis

Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II of meiosis , not meiosis I.

Quick Scoop

• In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (the pairs, one from each parent) separate during anaphase I, while sister chromatids stay together.

• In meiosis II, the cell behaves much like mitosis: sister chromatids finally separate and move to opposite poles during anaphase II.

• This second division (meiosis II) is called an equational division because it separates chromatids without further reducing chromosome number.
