Slide Set - Meiosis of Onion - 12 pieces

This detailed slide set includes 12 labelled slides showing the complete process of meiosis in onion cells. Ideal for biology education, the set covers every major phase of cell division with clear visuals and labelling. It offers students a sequential, microscope-based view of how cells divide and specialise, making abstract cellular concepts accessible through real specimens.

• Educational Benefits
• Demonstrates all phases of meiosis with real-life samples.
• Enhances microscope skills and visual interpretation.
• Reinforces concepts of cell division, genetics, and reproduction.
• Supports understanding of mitosis vs. meiosis distinctions.
• Aids in exam preparation and curriculum alignment.

• Classroom Ideas
• Use in pair work to label stages and describe their key features.
• Combine with worksheets to sequence and annotate each slide.
• Compare with mitosis slides to understand function and difference.
• Include in assessment tasks for diagram recognition.
• Encourage discussion on genetic variation and inheritance.
