Meiosis is somewhat complicated; I'm not going to lie to you.
But you can figure it out and remember it long enough to pass the test. Try to do more now than just answer the question. Try to understand how this works, so you will get it right on the test.

First, here's a quick summary. This may be all you need.

(By the way, don't you have a textbook that shows all this?)

Now watch this YouTube video a few times:
YouTube - Meiosis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1_-mQS_FZ0)

Except I think they are called "chrom a TIDS" not "chrom A tids." The narrator is saying it wrong, I think...

Does this help?

If you are still having trouble, check out this tutorial:

Good luck!
