This site contains an activity that allows you to identify the steps of mitosis. http://learngenetics.utah.edu/

The following links will help you visualize the process of meiosis.

Meiosis: How Chromosomes are passed from Parent to offspring http://www.contexo.info/DNA_Basics/Meiosis.htm

This site contains an activity that allows you to identify the steps of meiosis. http://learngenetics.utah.edu/

Answer these questions in your notebook:

1. Describe the overall process of mitosis.  Address why mitosis occurs, in what types of cells it occurs, and chromosome numbers for parent and daughter cells.

2. Diagram how DNA replication occurs and mention why DNA replication is an essential part of the cell cycle.

3. How do sex cells differ from regular body cells?

4. Why are the offspring of two parents different than one another?

5, If two parents are both heterozygous for two traits, what is the chance their offspring be homozygous recessive for both traits?

6. A cell is about to divide by meiosis.  The cell has 6 chromosomes:  2 Long, 2 medium, and 2 short.  Draw in the combinations of chromosomes that would be in the 4 sex cells (sperm or egg) after meiosis.
