**Exercise: Chromosomal Arrangement in Metaphase I of Meiosis**

**Objective:** To understand the two independent orientations of chromosomes during Metaphase I in meiosis for a diploid cell with the genotype AaBb.

**Instructions:**

1. **Chromosomal Details:**
   - The diploid cell has a total of two pairs of chromosomes (2n=4).
   - Gene **A** is located on the larger chromosome, and gene **B** is on the smaller chromosome.
   
2. **Task:**
   - Illustrate and label the genes and alleles (A/a and B/b) on homologs and sister chromatids.
   - Use a vertical metaphase plate to demonstrate the two possible orientations of these chromosomes during Metaphase I.

3. **Diagrams:**

   **Diagram Description:**
   - Two circles represent the potential orientations of the chromosomes.
   - Each circle corresponds to a different arrangement of the homologous chromosome pairs on the metaphase plate.

4. **Gametes:**
   - Indicate the potential gamete combinations that could result from each orientation.

**Geometry of Orientation:**
- The arrangement of chromosomes will determine the genetic variability of the gametes.

**Gametes Labeling:**
- Leave spaces to fill in the predicted gametes for each orientation scenario. The two diagrams should be labeled as follows:

   - **Left Diagram:**
     - Possible gamete combinations based on one orientation.
   
   - **Right Diagram:**
     - Possible alternative gamete combinations based on the second orientation.

By completing this exercise, students will gain a clearer understanding of how independent assortment during meiosis contributes to genetic diversity.
