Understanding Meiosis and Its Role in Sexual Reproduction

DESCRIPTION

This activity explores the intricate process of meiosis, the specialized form of cell division that occurs in developing sex cells, leading to the formation of egg and sperm cells. Students will learn about the stages of meiosis, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase I & II. By comparing meiosis and mitosis, participants will analyze how genetic diversity is achieved through crossing over. The activity concludes with a revisit of the initial challenge regarding chromosome division, reinforcing key concepts through vocabulary development.
