An ant (Myrmecia pilosula) from Australia, named “bulldog” for its viciousness, has diploid cells that contain only two chromosomes. (Michael W.J. Crosland and Ross H. Crozier, “Myrmecia pilosula, an Ant with Only One Pair of Chromosomes,” Science 231:1278, 1986). Which of the following figures represents a cell during metaphase II of meiosis in Myrmecia pilosula?
