Homologous chromosome pairs are separated
Meiosis 1 refers to the initial stage of meiosis where one parent cell divides into two daughter cells. This stage is where homologous pairs of chromosomes will segregate and separate from each other and move into the two daughter cells which result in the division of the total chromosomal number by half.
<h3>What happens during Meiosis 1 ?</h3>
Meiosis I ends when the chromosomes of each homologous pair arrive at opposing poles of the cell.
- The microtubules disintegrate, and a new nuclear membrane forms around each haploid set of chromosomes.
- The chromosomes uncoil, forming chromatin again, and cytokinesis occurs, forming two non-identical daughter cells.

If two Bb guinea pigs cross, there are four possible outcomes:
- both pass the B: the son is BB
- one of the pass the B and the other pass the b: the son is Bb
- both pass the b: the son is bb
Since B (being black) is dominant, the son will be black in both BB and Bb cases. In order for a son to be brown, he must be a pure bb specimen.
So, if all of the offspring are black, it means that all four guinea pigs are either BB or Bb, which in turn means that at least one of the parents passed the B gene.
