Question:

Identify the correct matched pair. Segregation - Metaphase II Significance of meiosis - Production of genetically similar cells Exchange of genetic material - Diakinesis Anaphase II of meiosis - Centromeric division

Segregation - Metaphase II

Significance of melosis - Production of genetically similar cells

Exchange of genetic material - Diakinesis

Anaphase II of meiosis - Centromeric division

Solution:

Segregation is the characteristic event of anaphase stage. Meiosis produces genetically diverse cells due to cross over during prophase I. Exchange of genetic material takes place during pachytene of prophase I of meiosis I. Splitting of centromere during anaphase II of meiosis leads to segregation of chromatids towards opposite pole. So, the correct answer is option D.
