Slide Meiosis (Set of 12)
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11875
Quick Answer: The Slide Meiosis (Set of 12) is a set of 12 prepared microscope slides that follow meiosis stage by stage, from interphase, leptotene and zygotene through to telophase II, showing synapsis, crossing over, tetrads and haploid daughter cells.

How It Is Used
Working through the slides in order, students follow reduction division from interphase to the formation of four haploid daughter cells. The early slides show homologous chromosomes pairing, crossing over and chiasmata, and the later ones show first the homologous pairs and then the sister chromatids moving to opposite poles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which stages are in the Slide Meiosis (Set of 12)?
Interphase, leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, diakinesis, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, metaphase II, anaphase II and telophase II, one slide for each stage.
Does the Slide Meiosis (Set of 12) show crossing over?
Yes. Synapsis appears at zygotene, crossing over becomes evident at pachytene and the chiasmata can be seen at diplotene.
