haploid
rather than diploid
.
In prophase II,
each dyad
has two chromatids attached to a common centromere
.
In metaphase II,
chromosomes move to the metaphase plate, and centromeres
start to divide.
In anaphase II,
the divided centromeres pull sister chromatids to opposite poles (disjunction
).
After telophase II and cytokinesis II,
cell division is complete, producing monads
.
Each haploid daughter cell is a potential gamete
and has one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes.
Note that if disjunction
fails (nondisjunction
) in either meiosis I or II,
the gametes will have abnormal numbers of chromosomes.
