Review for:How Cells Divide: Mitosis vs. MeiosisIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on December 25, 2007 at 11:33AM
My rating of this resource: *****
My experience using this resource: cellular biology
Topic I was teaching: mitosis/meiosis
My learning goal for which this resource was used: To help students differentiate between mitosis and meiosis
Course Level: Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: I used this animation in class to review the differences between the processes and the animation makes very clear the difference in how chromosomes line up in each process.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation
Strengths: This is an excellent animation which uses color to distinguish homologous pairs and to accentuate the difference between mitosis and meiosis.
Weaknesses: It is somewhat small and uses only 2 pairs of chromosomes. I would like an animation that shows more chromosomes so students can really imagine how complex a process mitosis and meiosis are.
