Using the Cells Alive website, Maria Ferraro contributed this “The Cell Cycle and Animal Cell Mitosis” ( doc) worksheet. If your school has this program, creating your own maps is a good way to introduce vocabulary. It includes information about meiosis and fertilization with questions. Using the Inspiration software, Sue Hinojoza has created a concept map about “Chromosomes” ( pdf).
Try this simple “Modeling Crossing Over” ( doc) activity.
“ Cell and Mitosis” crossword puzzle and answers. Try this “ Cell Division Jeopardy” game. (You can save the song by right-clicking on the link and selecting “Save Target As.”) This song was written and performed by Ramon Nieves, a former student in one of Mrs Rebello’s science classes at Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School. Play the “ Mitosis Rap” song for your students. Using plastic forks, knives, and spoons to demonstrate Mitosis: Chromosome Replication & Division. The meiosis images (which are in 5 separate files on the “flip book” site) are consolidated here. Have students make mitosis and meiosis flip books.
Gamete: Now after meiosis, there are four daughter cells which if male, are four sperm cells and if female, are one egg cell and three other cells that form around the egg cell. Telophase II: In this stage the cells start dividing and the nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatids. Anaphase II: This is the stage where the chromatids seperate and start moving towards opposite sides of the cells. Metaphase II: In this stage the sister chromatids line up at the center and the spindle fibres attach and start pulling on them. Prophase II: In this stage the centrosomes start moving to opposite sides of each cell. Telophase 1: In this stage the nuclear membrane forms again around the chromatid, the two daughter cells forming are haploid. Anaphase 1: In this stage the chromatids start moving to opposite ends of the cell as the spindle fibres pull. Metaphase 1: In this stage the chromatids line up in the center of the cell, and the spindle fibres attach to the chromatids.
Prophase 1: In this stage the chromatids connect and cross over, this is when the chromatids trade sections.Meiosis Slideshow The stages of Meiosis.
