An activity aimed at advanced level biology students, this resource provides a detailed step by step set of instructions for students to construct their own detailed models of cells undergoing meiotic cell division. The activity provides an excellent way for students to clarify their understanding on how chromosomes behave and appear at different stages of meiosis and how haploid cells are produced from diploid cells.
The second page of the activity provides a template of cell diagrams which can be printed out on A3 paper and used as a template for student to attach their models. Once complete, students can then copy a diagram of their model or take a photograph to record their work.
The activity also contains an extension task which asks students to consider the impact of independent assortment of chromosomes.
Please note that this activity requires two sets of pipecleaners (each of different colours and some adhesive white labels to identify genes carried on each pipecleaner 'chromosome'.
