A Influence of the Demo Kit on Remediating Senior School Students’ Misconceptions in Mitosis and Meiosis in Ilorin, Nigeria
Type: Empirical
Data collection method: Survey
Number of subjects, range: Medium — 11-30
Grade and age of subjects: 9th-12 grade — under 17-18 years
- The process of mitosis and meiosis aid respiration in living organism.
- Mitosis is the division of cell into four daughter cells while meiosis is the division of cell into two daughter cells.
- Mitosis is an important process for sexual reproduction.
- Meiosis occurs during growth of plants.
- Meiosis is a cell division which follows the duplication of only one chromosome.
- Chromosome is a pair of genetic materials which is responsible for the formation of zygote.
- In early metaphase, the nucleoli disappear.
- In early anaphase, the daughter cell and the chromosomes have half of the parent cell.
- Telophase is divided into early telophase and late telophase.
- In metaphase I, the chromosomes move near the chromatids.
- Crossing over occurs when the nucleus has not yet divided and new offspring has not yet been formed.
