AP Biology Lab 3: AP Mitosis and Meiosis Lab 8-Station CD-ROM Lab Pack

PRODUCT DETAILS

Visualize the process of mitosis and meiosis. In the first part of the investigation, your students will investigate the process of mitosis by preparing their own slides of onion root tips and calculating the relative duration of each stage of the cell cycle. Using the prepared slides of white fish blastula, the class will also study mitosis in animal cells and compare animal cell mitosis with plant cell mitosis. In the second part of the investigation, your students will study the crossing over and recombination that takes place during meiosis from a cross between a wild type Sordaria fimicola and its mutant for tan spore coat color. The comprehensive background information section includes an illustrated key to each phase of mitosis and meiosis and the major differences between the two processes. Combine lab with the included CD-ROM to create a truly interactive experience for your students.
