iPad Meiosis Game Tutorial
Purpose: Snurfles, just like any other organism, must reproduce in order to
continue as a species! But how does this happen? By the end of this game, you will
understand how MEIOSIS and FERTILIZATION work to make offspring! You will also
see how GENETIC characteristics are passed on through these processes and the
connection between meiosis and genetics!
TAB 1: Meiosis and Genetics Interactive
First, you need to learn about Meiosis and Genetics and how they are connected.
This is an easy level 1 but it is RECOMMENDED that you complete it.
INTERPHASE
Sketch a cell in Interphase
*Which of the following is true of Interphase?
Circle the correct answer
A. It is a part of Meiosis
B. B. It occurs before Meiosis
C. The Cell does normal cell activities
during interphase.
D. Both B and C.
1. What is going on in the nucleus during Interphase?
2. The uncoiled stringy DNA found in the nucleus during interphase is called
