What would be true for comparison of Anaphase I and Anaphase II of meiosis?

1. Centromere does not split in Anaphase I and homologues separate but centromere splits in Anaphase II and sister chromatids separate.

2. Centromere splits in Anaphase I and homologues separate but centromere does not split in Anaphase II and sister chromatids separate.

3. Paired homologues get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase I while sister chromatids of individual chromosomes get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase II.

4. Paired homologues get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase II while sister chromatids of individual chromosomes get attached to spindle from opposite poles in Anaphase I.
