The Meiosis Square Dance

PRODUCT DETAILS

Colorful, animated adventure introduces the biological process of meiosis by presenting a wacky square dance held in the testes of Drosophila melanogaster. Chromosomes coil up and hoe down as they duplicate, crossover, separate, and dance their way through the different phases of meiosis - interphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. Humorous, sing-along lyrics reinforce the concepts of meiosis, genetics, and reproduction. 10 minutes. Grades 6-12.
