Getting started…

• When you fall and scrape the skin off your hands and knees, how does your body make new skin cells to replace the skin cells that were scraped off?

• How does your body make sure each new cell has all the chromosomes it needs to have?

• How does a baby get his or her genes?

Meiosis or Mitosis?

• Use the provided table to sort your statements into three categories.

–Meiosis

–Mitosis

–Both

Page 4: Proven Activities for Teaching Genetics

Meiosis vs. Mitosis

Page 5: Proven Activities for Teaching Genetics

Mitosis Both Meiosis

Body cells Cell structures involve spindle fibers

Reproductive Cells

Diploid cellsChromosome replication

Haploid cells

1 cell divisionType of cell division

2 cell divisions

2 daughter cells Occur in phases4 daughter cells

Page 6: Proven Activities for Teaching Genetics

Ways to remember…

• MITosis takes the cell and Makes It Two

• Meiosis has to do with sex

• From the cell’s point of view:–mITosis results in Identical Twins–mEoSis results in Egg and Sperm

Why does the cell organize?

• Place your DNA in the nucleus of your cell.

• You have 2 sets of homologous chromosomes with the alleles marked for hemoglobin, ability to smell, and height.

• Challenge: Separate out these 2 sets of chromosomes while keeping them inside the nucleus.

Page 8: Proven Activities for Teaching Genetics

• How could you tell which chromosomes were homologous?

• Did you have any problems while you were trying to sort out the chromosomes inside the nucleus on your paper?

• How could you make it easier?

Why does the cell organize?

Page 9: Proven Activities for Teaching Genetics

• Wrap each piece of thread around a piece of straw and place inside the nucleus.

• Separate them into 2 pairs of homologous chromosomes while keeping them inside the nucleus.

• What process is this simulating in a cell?

What proteins are coded?

D Defective height allele results in dwarfism

d Normal allele Normal height
