What ideas did you learn this week?

This week in science class we started talking about meiosis. We researched their phase, what they look like, what happens in each phase, and the similarities/differences of meiosis and mitosis. By answering these questions, it allowed us to understand meiosis better. The phases are, Diploid (2n), Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, and Gamete (1n).We also learned what kind of cell we were making, and we found out it was an animal cell.

How did we learn these ideas?

We learned about meiosis from this website. We saw pictures and read about each phase. We drew the pictures in our notebooks and wrote what each phase does. This helped us understand the phases and meiosis.

Why is it important to know these ideas?

It is important to know about mitosis and meiosis because now we get it and when we take quiz and tests we will know what we are talking about. Also when we have class discussions, we can stay involved and be able to be apart of it. This way we can ask questions about things we don't understand that well.
