If a diploid cell contains eight chromosomes, how many possible random arrangements of homologs could occur during metaphase of meiosis I?
Added by Jon M.
Step 1
During metaphase of meiosis I, these homologous pairs line up along the metaphase plate, and each pair can orient in two different ways (either the maternal or paternal chromosome can be on a particular side). Since there are four pairs of homologous Show more…

If a diploid cell contains six chromosomes (i.e., three per set), how many possible random arrangements of homologs could occur during metaphase of meiosis I? Draw the arrangements using different sized chromosomes, and black shaded to represent the maternal chromosome and non-shaded to represent the paternal chromosome
