Now there are two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes. We can see that the cells are haploid because there are no pairs of homologous chromosomes. Each cell has only one chromosome of each type. These cells remain haploid with duplicated chromosomes. In metaphase II the duplicated chromosomes align at the equatorial plane.
Kinetochores connect the centromeres of the chromatids to the spindle fibers.
The kinetochores pull the sister chromatids of the duplicated chromosomes apart. The sister chromatids move toward the poles. The image to right illustrates the condition of the chromosomes after telophase II and cytokinesis have occured. The four daughter cells are all haploid with unduplicated chromosomes. We know that the cells are haploid because no homologous pairs are present.
