Consider a diploid cell where 2n = 6.During metaphase I of meiosis, as the pairs of homologouschromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, each pair may orientwith its maternal or paternal homolog closer to a given pole. Thereare four equally probable arrangements of the homologous pairs atmetaphase I. (Note that this problem assumes that no crossing overhas occurred.)
