During meiosis in a diploid cell, tetrads form and then align at the metaphase plate. The student notes that each homolog in a tetrad is attached to spindle fibers from opposite poles, while sister chromatids of each homolog share attachment to the same pole. Which outcome is most likely when the cell transitions into anaphase I?
