The following diagram refers to a typical cell cycle.

Identify the parts marked as X, Y and Z.

1. X - G₁; Y - S; Z - G₂                      2. X - G₂; Y - S; Z - G₁

3. X - G₀; Y - S; Z - G₂                     4. X - G₁; Y - G₂; Z - G₀

Identify the meiotic stage in which the homologous chromosomes separate while the sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres:

(a) Metaphase I     (b) Metaphase II   (c) Anaphase I      (d) Anaphase II
