Meiosis Yarn Activity
• Produce and take a picture of the following stages of
Meiosis: (label stages)
– Interphase, Prophase I & 2, Metaphase 1 & 2, Anaphase 1 &
2, Telophase 1 & 2, Cytokinesis (after Telophase 2)
• Label the following:
Tetrad, Homologous Chromosomes, Replicated
Chromosome, Centromere, Spindle Fiber, Centriole
• Identify
– If there is no nucleus…identify if the cell is haploid or diploid
– If there is one nucleus…identify if the nucleus is haploid or
diploid
– If there is more than one nucleus…identify if the nucleus is
haploid or diploid THEN identify if the cell is haploid or
diploid.
Group A versus Group B
Group A
Group B
• Line your tetrads up at the
equator so that the same
colors on TOP of one another.
• Pair with another group A right
before you get to prophase II.
• One group will take pictures of
the “green nucleus” and the
other group with take a
picture of the “purple nucleus”
going through Meiosis II
• Share pictures at the end.
• Line your tetrads up at the
equator so that the same
colors are DIAGONAL from one
another.
• Pair with another group B right
before you get to prophase II.
• One group will take the picture
of the nucleus that has the
larger green chromosome and
the other group will take
pictures of the larger purple
nucleus.
• Share pictures at the end.
