color and size from the other.
2. Break one part of each of the chromosomes. Exchange the parts and attach them to
each of the other chromosomes. See illustration below.

1. Make a model of a chromatid (one of the duplicated copies of a chromosome).
2. When done, in your second model, remove a portion of it (close to either end of the
chromosome or within the long arm or short arm). If you choose to remove a part within
the arms, be sure to join back the bottom part.
