Notice that metaphase one is not exactly the same as metaphase of mitosis. In metaphase of mitosis, we actually align these individual chromosomes along our equator. So in metaphase of meiosis, we would have six of these align along our equator. But in metaphase one of meiosis, we only have three because we form these tetrids and these tetrids are basically aligned along our equator. So we have 23 tetris that are basically aligned along the equator, and together we have 23 times two or 46 chromosomes. Now let's move on to anaphase one of meiosis.
