Explain Chromosomal Abnormalities and Crossing Over for High School Biology

Product details
In your high school biology class, do you want to explain how cells get chromosome genetic abnormalities like deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation? Do you want your students to be active in their learning and discover for themselves how crossing over during meiosis can go wrong? This is the lesson for you!
It is hard to visually explain how chromosomal abnormalities are formed and crossing over is also difficult to visualize for students. I normally use this lesson at the end of a mitosis/meiosis unit, after my students understand what the product cells form meiosis normally are, what homologous chromosomes are, and what the chromosomal abnormalities are (deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation).
In this lesson, your students will use colored pencils to trace over chromosomes and chromosomes with crossing over between them to let them separate out the meiotic products. My students love this lesson because it is a lesson where they can see for themselves how to produce the chromosomal abnormalities that cause so many human genetic disorders.
In this packet, I include a way to differentiate this lesson. For pages 4 and 5, the Mistakes in Crossing Over pages, I include 2 options. You can print pages 4a and 5a, which are easier and have the students analyze the diagram. Or you can print pages 4b and 5b (really pages 6 and 7) which require the students to produce part of the diagram and analyze it. In my college prep/lower level classes, I use pages 4a and 5a. In my honors or AP, I use pages 4b and 5b.

I designed this lesson to address Next Generation Science Standard
HS-LS3-2: Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors.
