mere) with the other color of beads.<br />

B. Bring the centromeres of two units of the same color and length together so they can be held<br />

together to appear as a duplicated chromosome.<br />

1. Simulate crossing over. Bring the two homologues pairs together (that’d be the two<br />

pairs that both have 10 bead strands) and exchange an equal number of beads between<br />

the two.<br />

C. Configure the chromosomes as they would appear in each of the stages of meiosis I.<br />

Meiosis II<br />

A. Configure the chromosomes as they would appear in each stage of meiosis II.<br />

B. Return your beads to their original starting position and simulate crossing over. Track how this<br />

changes the ultimate outcome as you then go through the stages of meiosis I and II.<br />

C. Using the space below, and using blue and red markers, draw a diagram of your beads in each<br />

stage. Beside your picture, write the number of chromosomes present in each cell.<br />
