An animated walkthrough of how DNA, genes, and chromosomes relate, shown as a chain where genes are segments of DNA packaged into chromosomes. Color-coded diagrams compare chromosome behavior in mitosis versus meiosis, then show how X and Y chromosomes combine at fertilization to determine a baby's sex, making clear the father supplies the deciding Y or X chromosome. Bilingual English and Chichewa captions support understanding. Designed for middle schoolers and teachers introducing genetics and cell division basics.

cell division. discuss visual and moriona animations of mitosis and meiosis. the structure and functions of a chromosome. the behavior of chromosome during mitosis and meiosis. Similarly, as in b(i), genes and DNA are found in a chromosome. Gene- DNA- chromosome From the suggested answers in activity 2, you can conclude that chromosomes carry genes. These genes are smaller units or parts of a DNA chain. This shows the relationship amongst chromosomes, genes and DNA. Study the following illustration to understand the behavior of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. discuss the structure and functions of genes and chromosome. explain how they determine sex of a child or parentage and how they are usde to derermine paternity or maternity. Explain that it is the man that determines this by providing the Y chromosome so men who blame wives for same gender children shpuld know that it is them who detrmine this. use a lot of explanations and moving graphics at each explanation. Also use a lot of chochewa t help those who can;t speak English nderstand what is going on by reading the captions and titles. Explain with clear graphis distinguishing with color to help a 6 th grader understand Audience: middle schooler
