Try This
- Assume you have an organism with a diploid (2n) number of six. Make a sketch of the different phases of mitosis.
- Using the same organism, make a sketch of the different phases of meiosis.
- Note the similarities and differences between the two sketches.
Analyze Your Results
- What similarities did you observe between the two drawings?
- What differences did you observe between the two drawings?
