And what these spindle fibers basically do is they align the tetris along the center along the equatorial line of Aracel, as shown in the following diagram. So let's suppose Aracel contained only six pairs of homologous chromosomes. So that means we're going to have three tetrades, as shown in the following diagram, that are aligned along the center. 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.
