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. During metaphase two of meiosis, each one of these individual chromosomes will basically now align itself once again along the equator and the same segregation process will take place. So the mitotonic spindle will attach itself onto these chromosomes, pulling them apart, and eventually we form these four gamete types as shown in the following diagram. Now notice in each one of these gametes, each one of these gammates, we have a slightly different genetic information and that is because of the process of crossing over.
