1. Get 4 pipe cleaners in 4 different colors, with one pair being partners and the other pair being partners.
2. The document discusses cell division, including the two types of cell division - mitosis and meiosis. It provides details on the key stages and events of each.
3. Examples are given of mitosis (healing a wound) versus meiosis (fertilizing a lily). A practice with pipe cleaners to model chromosomes and cell division is described.

13. Directions
Cut each pipe cleaner in ½
Which two colors are going to be homologues?
Remember: homologous chromosomes are partner
chromosomes – not identical but nearly so.
19. Step 1 of meiosis
Crossing over
between homologous
chromosomes occurs
Model it by cutting
your chromosomes
20. Let’s Practice with our pipe cleaners!
Set up Prophase 1
This is when crossing over will happen
Carefully cut off the end of one chromosome and
attach it to its homologous pair
21. Step 2 of Meiosis
Homologous chromosomes pair
up in the middle of the cell
22. Stage 3 of meiosis
Homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends of
the cell
