Suppose you are working with a certain plant and you have crossed a strain with normal chromosomes to a strain that is homozygous for a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes II and III. The F1 plants are now heterozygous for this translocation as depicted schematically below. The normal homologs for chromosomes II (dashed boxes with white centromeres on the left) and III (solid boxes with black centromeres on the right) are shown above and the translocated chromosomes (with the respective centromeres) are shown below. The letters represent different segments along the chromosomes. 

Using lines to represent the chromosomes (single chromatids are fine i.e. there is no need to depict both sister chromatids, but be sure to show the respective centromeres), show the pairing arrangement of these chromosomes during meiosis.  Remember to include the letters.
