Purpose: This activity is designed to familiarize you with the phases of mitosis and meiosis and compare these processes in a comparison chart. This activity will be three parts. For parts I and II please scan your labeled work. If you do not have access to a scanner, you can take a picture of your sketches and submit them. It is important that you take clear pictures for this submission.
Procedure
Part 1: For this portion of this exercise, please sketch a cell with 4 chromosomes going through each stage of mitosis starting with what the cell would look like following interphase. You should label your work and include a list of 2-3 events that are taking place during each of the phases of mitosis. You will also want to include the total number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells.
Part 2: For this portion, please sketch a cell with 4 total chromosomes, 2 homologous pairs, going through the process of meiosis. You should label your work and include 2-3 events that are specific to each phase of meiosis. You will also want to include the total number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells. For this portion, please include a crossing over and independent assortment event and label the phases of meiosis where these processes take place.
Result: Please produce a comparison chart for mitosis and meiosis in which you include answers to the following sections:
