1. ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTION BIOLOGY’S CONCEPT: CELL DIVISION V(^_^)V

4. Interphase is the phase in the cell cycle in which the cell spends the majority of its time and performs majority of its proposes including preparation for the cell division .

6. MITOSIS

7. MEIOSIS I

8. MEIOSIS II

14. STUDENT’S ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTION

15. 1) STUDENT’S DRAWING A MODEL OF MEIOSIS AND MITOSIS ARE SHOWN TO STUDENTS. THEN, THE STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO DRAW THE MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE MODEL. WHAT HAPPEN???

18. 2)INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS : WERE CONDUCTED ABOUT THE DETAILED SUBJECTS WITH RANDOMLY CHOSEN STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATED MISCONCEPTIONS. THE PURPOSE WAS TO CHECK THE VALIDITY OF THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DRAWINGS.

19. 1) WHERE ARE THE LOCATION OF CENTRIOLES?

20. A drawing of misconception of “centrioles are found in the nucleus of a cell

21. 2 )“WHEN DOES DNA REPLICATION OCCUR IN A CELL?,”

22. A drawing of misconception of “DNA replication occurs between prophase and metaphase during cell division

23. 3)“WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CELL ORGANELLES DURING THE CELL DIVISION PROCESS?,”

24. A drawing of misconception of “interphase is the resting phase of the mitosis”.

25. 4)“HOW DO THE CHROMOSOMES ACT DURING MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS?.”

26. A drawing of misconception of “the chromosome number is doubled in the prophase of mitosis and halved in the anaphase of mitosis”.

27. 5)HOW DIPLOID CELLS ARE FORMED?

28. A drawing of misconception of “diploid cells are formed as a result of meiosis”.
