@nicksl99 Take a look at the image I have attached and check where the chromatids are on opposite sides of the cell.  Once you find that, count the number of chromatids and you should see which part meiosis I or meiosis II has a total of tetrads (4 chromatids) in one cell and where there is only 2 chromatids per cell.
