Answer 1

9.1 The metaphase II found in meiosis II and it is very similar to Metaphase found in mitosis I. The chromosomes get arranged on the Metaphase plate and are attached to completed spindle.

The main difference between metaphase II of meiosis and metaphase of mitosis is that Metaphase of mitosis is nothing but an alignment of Chromosomes on the equatorial plate at the centre of the cell

while

metaphase 1 of meiosis - the pair of homologous chromosomes or the bivalents get coiled tightly and condensed and become arrange on equatorial plate at the centre of the cell.

​​The main events that happen at this stage are Chromosomes breaks at centromeres, and sister chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell.

Sister chromatids
