Today, we finished our discussion on how organisms create gametes, or sex cells, for sexual reproduction. Information can be found in the "Meiosis" powerpoint.
We then had a lab where we observed mitosis in Allium (onion) root tips. The file to be used is in the labs folder, in a folder called "Observing Mitosis Lab". Since absent students will lack the capacity to observe actual Allium cells, an online version that is similar can be found HERE. Students should still use the sheet provided and answer all pertinent questions, but use the virtual lab instead of microscopes and slides. If a student still wishes to do the full lab, they can speak with me to set up a time before or after school.
