Meiosis

Projects

 

Check out my iMovie “Meiosis in Motion”

Only sex cells undergo meiosis. Meiosis begins with 2 chromosomes(diploid), one set from dad and another set from mum. Meiosis include Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I includes prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I(Cytokinesis I). Meiosis II includes  prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II and Cytokinesis II. During Meiosis, crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes, resulting in genetic information exchange. Finally, parent cell divides into four daughter cells that are different with each other. (Haploid)

I used iMovie to finish my project. Overall, i like my presentation. I used tube cleaners to animate the meiosis process. Through the project, I had a detailed understanding of meiosis in different phases, and I learned to use iMovie. I especially liked iMovie, it was easy for me to do even though I am not good at technology, and I will use iMovie as an instrument to do my videos in the future.

Check out my friends’ videos!
