you run into your old friend, Aaron, who tells you that (strange as it sounds) he and his identical twin brother Jared got married to identical twin sisters! He says it’s going to be really exciting, because both couples just had baby girls, so his and Jared’s kids will also be identical twins!


Using your understanding of meiosis (e.g., including crossing over/recombination & independent assortment), what do you say to Aaron in response?


(Hint: since the important processes here act on pairs of chromosomes, it can be helpful to use "within pairs" or "between pairs" or "from each pair" frequently in your responses!)


In a moment, I'm going to ask you to share your individual thoughts in an application question.  This discussion is an opportunity to share ideas with some colleagues and get clarifications before responding individually!
