Modeling Mitosis and Meiosis
Description
Using the parts provided in the Mitosis and Meiosis Manipulative Models kit, you will create models of each step that occurs during both mitotic and meiotic cell division.
Objectives
1. Demonstrate and identify the stages of the cell cycle.
2. Describe the structure of a chromosome and the function of a gene.
3. Distinguish between haploid and diploid and define homologous chromosomes.
4. Demonstrate and describe the events occurring in each stage of mitosis with emphasis on the behaviour of chromosomes.
Procedure
1. Obtain the Mitosis and Meiosis Manipulative Models kit from your teacher.
2. Follow the instructions in the Student Guide using the parts provided in the kit to demonstrate the various phases. Alternatively, you can download a copy of the Guide here.
3. Remember to answer all questions from the Student Guide on sheets of loose leaf, and be prepared to hand these in to be evaluated.
4. As a group, write a short blog post including your activity notes and thoughts about the activity process.
