Now let's fast forward to metaphase one of meiosis. During metaphase one of meiosis, these recombinant chromosomes basically align along the equator along the midsection of that particular somatic cell. So this is the midsection and this homologous but recombinant chromosome pair have now aligned itself along the equator and now a process known as segregation will take place. So these will basically separate onto opposite poles. Eventually, cytokinesis will produce two different cells and this is the reduction step where we go from the two N number to the N number of chromosomes. Now let's suppose now we fast forward to metaphase II of meiosis.
