Chromosome Shuffle

Assign these 50 questions to your biology class as a review of cell division. Learners will address the cell cycle, cancer cells, cytokinesis, mitosis, meiosis, gene and chromosomal mutations, and karyotypes. The format is user-friendly,...

Take a critical thinking approach to comparing mitosis and meiosis with an engaging set of questions. Budding biologists describe chromatids and homologous chromosomes, and identify whether different processes occur during mitosis,...

Young biologists define reproduction vocabulary terms, answer critical-thinking questions, label a diagram of the human life cycle, and complete a chart comparing mitosis to meiosis. This is a well-balanced activity. Even though it...

An explanatory introduction to genes opens the worksheet for young geneticists. Then, through diagrams and reading passages, mitosis is explained. This is just a general explanation, as the phases of mitosis are not mentioned. Pupils...

What divides and multiplies at the same time? Mitosis. The seventh presentation in the series covers cell division, the phases of mitosis and meiosis, cancer, mutations, sexual and asexual reproduction, and the evolutionary consequences...

Sal from the Khan Academy draws an example of sexual reproduction and the chromosomes that come together from each gamete. He explains mitosis about halfway through the video, eventually showing differentiation and meiosis. Give your...

Watch as an animated cell goes through the process of mitosis as DNA coils and bunches into chromosomes. Once the nuclear membranes dissolve, spindles pull chromatids to opposite sides and stretch the cell. The video ends as mitosis...

Aren't mitosis and meiosis the same thing? A helpful flow chart demonstrates the difference between mitosis and meiosis on Paul Andersen's Smart Board. Time lapse videos include show mitosis and cytokinesis.

Demonstrate the cell division and phases of meiosis by showing this video clip. An animated cell splits as chromosomes line up and are pulled apart by spindles. Help your young biologists see just how meiosis works.

Reward biology learners for working hard in their mitosis lesson with a sweet snack at the end! They begin by twisting apart creme-filled cookies and using the icing as a cytoplasm. Colored candy sprinkles make up chromosome pairs, which...
