A -f B, and the zygote A-i-A + B + B. In syndesis pairing takes .place in such a way that the pachytene nuclei contain two bivalents, forming the series A A + BB. We also see that one member of each bivalent was originally introduced by the male gamete and the other by the female. While the most important features of meiosis are all to be found.
