Chromosome Student Modeling Pack

Students can individually connect chromosomes at the microscopic and molecular scales wtih the hands-on models and digital activities in our Chromosome Student Modeling Pack.

• Model chromosome structure and anatomy.
• Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
• Discover the sources of genetic variation through independent assortment and crossing over. 
• Construct Punnett squares to connect inheritance of traits to chromosomes at the molecular level.

See Chromosome Connections Kit student handouts and teacher resources for ideas on how to use the Chromosome Student Modeling Pack with your students.
