Mitosis and Meiosis analogy By: Aiden Clark and Jaxon Coello
Car Factory (Mitosis) Factory creates duplicates of car parts. (Chromosomes) (Interphase) Engine Disappears, then factory divides car parts into two identical sets. (homologous chromosomes) (Prophase) Factory organizes all car parts into pairs. (homologous chromosomes) (Metaphase) Pulls the pairs apart into two complete cars. (Anaphase) Finally, the engines reappear, and the factory wraps up the process and creates two identical cars. (Telophase) Cable connecting the cars disappears and cars computer unzips information. (Chromatids) (Cytokinesis)
Meiosis - Meiosis like a game of cards. In the first round, prophase I, the deck (chromosomes) shuffles and exchanges cards with another player (crossing over) Then, in (Metaphase I), the shuffled cards line up in pairs (homologous chromosomes). (Anaphase I) is like splitting the pairs, with each player getting a mix of cards. In (Telophase I), the dealer cleans up all the loose cards and make last preparation for the game. In (Cytokinesis I), the players separate, each forming their own hand. (Chromatids)
Meiosis II - Another round of the card game. The cards (chromatids) from each hand (cell) in meiosis I are now shuffled within each player (cell). In (metaphase II), these shuffled cards line up individually along the center of the table. (Anaphase II) is when each card is pulled apart from its duplicate, moving to opposite ends of the table. Telophase II, the players (cells) split again, each ending up with a unique set of cards (chromatids), resulting in four distinct hands (gametes) altogether.
