In this activity, students will be able to go through the process of meiosis by modeling the major steps of meiosis 1 and meiosis 2, the emphasis is one crossing-over and independent assortment in creating variation in the gametes created. Because it is done on a PowerPoint or Google Slides. You are able to monitor all students' work all at once and jump to where the needs arise quickly. The second slide is to help students master the art of grouping multiple images at once to move them toget
Students will use gametes from Smiley Variation Part 1 with a partner to create a smiley offspring. They should then compare their offspring to others to notice differences. This covers concepts of genotypes, phenotypes, homologous pairs, alleles, fertilization, zygote, gamete, and variation.
