AP BIOLOGY STUDENTS INVESTIGATED THE TWO PROCESSES OF MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS.  IN THE FIRST PART OF THE LAB, THEY USED PREPARED SLIDES OF WHITEFISH BLASTULA AND ALLIUM ROOT TIPS TO STUDY MITOSIS IN ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS.  IN THE SECOND PART OF THE LAB, STUDENTS SIMULATED THE STAGES OF MEIOSIS I AND MEIOSIS II BY USING COLORED BEADS.  FINALLY, STUDENTS STUDIED THE ASCOSPORES OF THE FUNGUS SORDARIA FIMICOLA TO VIEW THE PROCESS OF CROSSING OVER IN MEIOSIS.
