Sharjah American International School–Dubai Science Department LAB 2 – Chromosomes & Inheritance Name: --------------------------- Class: 8 ------ Date: -------------------- Mitosis and meiosis division / MS-LS3-2 Chromosomes carry genes, which control traits like hair color or height. Different forms of a gene are called alleles. During reproduction, parents pass alleles to their offspring. OBJECTIVE: To compare between the phases of mitosis and meiosis To differentiate between different phases of cell division. Materials • Slides of different phases of cell division • Light microscope Procedure 1. 1234- Wear your lab coat , turn on the light microscope , set the lens to the suitable magnifying Examine the provided dyed slides of cell division phases With your peers in the group take your notes on the slides you observed. Identify each slide you see and label the phases of cell division Think It Over 1. Observe. What is the main differences you observed between mitosis and meiosis slides. Mention two differences? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Predict: What is the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells results after meiosis one ? Conclusion Identify the pictures below as a conclusion of your observation to the slides in the lab:
