During meiosis I, how could you have arranged the chromosomes in a different way? How do the differences affect the end result of meiosis??

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is the formation of reproductive cells, like the egg in the fallopian tube; if not fertilized by sperm, it is expelled by the menstrual cycle.

Some conditions during fertilization can be disrupted by an egg attaching to the fallopian tube instead of the uterus causing an ectopic pregnancy. Arranging chromosomes in a different way causes congenital defects like color blindness, crohn's disease down's syndrome, etc.
