Meiosis vs Mitosis activity |
| Using pipe cleaners to represent chromosomes, as shown on the right, animate the process of meiosis and mitosis and outline the differences. |

Three different coloured pipe cleaners.
Coloured cardboard
Six ping-pong balls
Sticky tape
Digital camera

| At some stage throughout the animation: |
|
| 1) microtubules are correctly labelled, |
1 |
| 2) Chromatids, homologous chromosomes and chromosomes are clearly labelled in the correct phase, |
3 |
| 3) Centrioles and centromere correctly labelled |
2 |
| 4) Crossover is correctly labelled in the correct process and phase |
2 |
| 5) DIfferences or similarities are clearly outlined between: |
|
| a) prophase 1 and prophase 2 of meiosis |
2 |
| b) prophase in mitosis and prophase 1 in meiosis |
2 |
| c) the daughter cells between mitosis and meiosis |
