Question

The phase during which tetrads form?? anaphase II metaphase II telophase I or prophase I?

Answer 1

In meiosis, tetrads are formed during telophase II.

Answer 2

Prophase I. This is the only really different phase from mitosis.

Formation of tetrads is unique to meiosis. And all the other phases are similar to mitosis, with the exception that the chromosome number has been halved.

Answer 3

Mate the tetrad is a group of four cells. They are produced in meiosis in telophase II because the chromatids reach their respective poles and they become less distinct. The nuclear envelope and nucleolus re-form. The spindle disappears leaving four cells called a tetrad.

Anaphase II is where the centromeres divide and the chromatids are pulled to opposite poles by the spindle fibre. anaphase II leads into Telophase II

Metaphase II is where the chromosomes arrange themselves on the equator of each cell.

Telophase I is where the nuclear envelope forms around the chromosomes at each pole, but in most plant cells there is no telophase and it leads straight into metaphase II

Prophase I is where the chromosomes shorten and fatten and come together in their homologous pairs to form a bivalent. the process by which they pair up is called synapsis. the chromatids of the homologous pairs wrap around one another and attach at points called chaismata. the chromosomes may break at these points and swap similar sections in a process called crossing over. the finally the nucleolus and nuclear envelop disappears and the spindle apparatus forms

So its actually telophase II  of meiosis where the tetrad is produced. If your still a bit confused email me.
