Activity 4.2

The study of meiotic cell division

ObjectiveTo prepare and study a model of meiosis cell division.
Materials
  • Different coloured clay
  • Gum
  • Chart paper or thermocol sheet
Method
  • Take a cardboard or thermocol sheet. Make the shape of a cell on it using any coloured clay.
  • Use different coloured clay to make chromosomes.
  • Make another cell and show DNA replication in it, with each chromosome made of two joined copies.
  • Make two separate cells with half the number of chromosomes and paste them.
  • Now make four cells and put an equal number of chromosomes in each cell.
  • Paste the prepared meiotic cell division model on the board and discuss it in class. Consider the new numbers of cells, the changes in chromosome numbers, and so on while discussing it.
