The following image shows one specific stage of meiosis. Which of the following correctly states what is occurring in this stage?
A. Microtubules have begun to pull sister chromatids apart, pulling them toward the poles of the cells. There are two cells at this stage.
B. Microtubules have begun to pull homologous chromosomes apart, pulling them toward the poles of the cell. There is only one cell at this stage.
C. Microtubules have attached to the chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are aligned at the midpoint of the cell. There is only one cell at this stage.
D. The chromosomes have reached the poles of the cell. There are technically two cells, but cytokinesis has begun in each.

Deletion
c.
Nondisjunction

Recombination
