About this simulation

Step through chromosome replication, alignment and separation. Compare two diploid mitotic daughter cells with four haploid meiotic products.

What students can explore

Predict which division separates homologous chromosomes and which separates sister chromatids.

Learning objectives

1Predict which division separates homologous chromosomes and which separates sister chromatids.

Questions teachers ask

What assumptions does this simulation use?

A schematic cell with two homologous pairs (2n = 4). Colours show parental origin. Optional crossing over exchanges matching segments between nonsister chromatids.
