Question

Split the chromosomes apart
to opposite ends of the cell. Draw
on your sheet of paper what this
model step looks like using colored
pencils. Label it “Anaphase II.”
12 – Draw circles around each set of
chromosomes. You should have 4
haploid cells, which are your sex
cells. Draw on your sheet of paper
what this model step looks like
using colored pencils. Label it
“Telophase II.”
DATA
Write a paragraph explaining how your model represents meiosis. 3 sentences 8thgrader words

Answer 1

My model shows Anaphase II when the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of each cell. In Telophase II the cells finish dividing so there are four haploid sex cells, each with one set of chromosomes. This models meiosis because it cuts the chromosome number in half to make sperm or eggs and helps mix genes so offspring are not exactly like their parents.
