Mitosis and meiosis are critical cellular functions that are crucial to our survival.- Observe mitosis in plant and animal cells
- Compare the relative lengths of the stages of mitosis in onion root-tip cells
- Simulate the stages of meiosis
- Observe evidence of crossing over in meiosis using Sordaria fimicola
- Estimate the distance of a gene locus from its centromere
For AP® Biology Lab 3. Using prepared slides and electronic images of whitefish and onion cells, students learn about the 4 stages of mitosis in Lab Activities A and B. Activity C requires the use of # 171100 Chromosome Simulation BioKit®, which is not included. A Sordaria Demonstration Cross Plate (# 155846) for demonstrating crossing over during meiosis is provided for Lab Activity D.
