Meiosis Concept Map

About this meiosis concept map

This free, customizable meiosis concept map clearly illustrates the complex process of cell division that produces gametes. The visual layout breaks down meiosis into two distinct phases (Meiosis I and Meiosis II) with their sub-stages.

The map begins with 4 chromatids forming a tetrad during Prophase I, highlighting key events like crossing over and independent orientation. It then tracks the separation of homologous chromosomes in Anaphase I and Telophase I. Meiosis II focuses on the separation of sister chromatids, showing how spindle fibers form and attach during Metaphase II, leading to the final division in Anaphase II and Telophase II.

Color-coded connections and simple icons make this biological process easy to follow. The concept map effectively shows how genetic material is reduced and recombined through each meiotic stage.

Perfect for biology students, this template helps visualize chromosome behavior, genetic variation mechanisms, and the overall sequence of meiotic division. Use it for studying, teaching, or creating presentations about cellular reproduction.
