    This document outlines a laboratory exercise on cell reproduction in plant and animal cells. Students will differentiate the life cycles of plants and animals using specimens. They will identify stages of mitosis and meiosis in onion root tip, whitefish blastula, lily anther, and grasshopper testis under the microscope. Students will also model the chromosomes at each stage of mitosis and meiosis using art materials to demonstrate structures like spindle fibers and crossing over. The objectives are to compare plant and animal life cycles, recognize mitosis and meiosis stages, and illustrate the principle of genetic recombination.

    5. Based on your saved picture (softcopy), illustrate and identify the different stages of mitosis and
    meiosis in proper order.
    6. Label structures the following structures in your illustration (if applicable): spindle fibers,
    centrosomes/centrioles, equatorial plane, homologous chromosomes, sister chromatids, cleavage
    furrow, nucleus, daughter cells, crossing over
    Note: Attach printed pictures to your laboratory sheet.
    III. Chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis
    1. Create a chromosome model of each stage in mitosis and meiosis using your art materials.
    2. Label the following structures (if applicable): spindle fibers, centrosomes/centrioles, centromere,
    chromosomes, sister chromatids, cleavage furrow, nucleus, chiasma, synapsis, recombinant
    chromosome
    3. Demonstrate crossing over for meiosis.
    4. Take a picture of all chromosome models. Compile for your laboratory report.
