How does the anaphase stage differ in the two phases of meiosis? Anaphase I separates sister chromatids and anaphase II separate
max2010maxim [7]

The answer is <span>Anaphase I separates homologous chromosomes and anaphase II separates sister chromatids into daughter cells.</span>


Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so in total, meiosis results in four haploid cells. So, in meiosis, there are two anaphases - the anaphase I in meiosis I and the anaphase II in meiosis II.

<span>In anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells. In meiosis I there are 46 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as pairs of sister chromatids. In anaphase of meiosis II, since the cell is haploid, there are 23 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as sister chromatids.</span>

What is the function of the mini-valves in lymph capillaries?
Naya [18.7K]

 They increase the permeability of the lymph capillaries. Interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels through the mini valves (which are overlaps of endothelial cells from multiple lymph capillaries). The valves also prevent the backflow of the lymph from the vessels back to the tissues.
