Which phase of meiosis sees the reappearance of duplicated chromosomes and spindle fibers?

The correct choice reflects the phase of meiosis known as Prophase 2. During this stage, the chromosomes, which were previously duplicated during the S phase before Meiosis 1, come together again, and the chromatids become visible. Additionally, spindle fibers begin to form, preparing the cells for the subsequent stages of meiosis, where the chromatids will line up and then be separated into different cells.

In Telophase 1, while the chromosomes do arrive at the poles of the cell, the next events do not involve the reappearance of these duplicated structures as they are already separate and in a more relaxed state. Metaphase 1 primarily involves the alignment of homologous chromosomes at the cell's equator and does not feature duplicated chromosomes in the same context as Prophase 2. Finally, in Telophase 2, the separated chromatids reach the poles of the cells, and a new nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes, marking the end of meiosis, but by that point, the focus is not on the reappearance of duplicated chromosomes and spindle fibers as they have already separated.
