Cell Division: Meiosis |  MEIOSIS STAGES – DRAW THE CHROMOSOMES (pdf) |
MEIOSIS STAGES – DRAW THE CHROMOSOMES
An artistic way to learn about meiosis! Print this worksheet to draw the homologous chromosomes in the different stages of meiosis — from prophase I to telophase II. This will help the students master the highlights of each meiotic stage. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
| Independent Assortment and Crossing Over |  CROSSING OVER AND INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT – QUIZ (pdf) |
CROSSING OVER & INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT – QUIZ
Use this to evaluate the student’s familiarity with the core concepts in crossing over and independent assortment. It has two sections. The first is a fill-in-the-gaps test about crossing over and the second is a matching type about Mendelian Law of Independent Assortment. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |

NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE WORKSHEET
This worksheet will test the student’s aptitude on Non-Mendelian inheritance. The first part will test the student’s comprehension of complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance. The second part is a practice on logical relations between incomplete dominance and codominance through a Venn diagram. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Mutations |
Chromosome Mutations – part I
Chromosome Mutations – part II |
 CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION MATCH-UP ACTIVITY (pdf) |
CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION MATCH-UP ACTIVITY
A critical-thinking match-up activity on chromosomal mutation! This matching-type test is useful in tracking the student’s skills in recognizing the different kinds of chromosomal mutations. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
| Genetic Mutations |  GENETIC MUTATIONS – MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE (pdf) |
GENETIC MUTATIONS – MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE
A modified true-or-false quiz meant to test the students’ comprehension of the principles and vocabulary in genetic mutations. Apart from identifying which items are correct and incorrect, the students also have to correct the false statements. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
