- The first step of meiosis is Prophase I. In a cell, the homologous chromosomes find each other. But in your case.. we'll have to use some bell peppers. Each bell pepper will function as a chromatid and we'll put four together to form a tetrad. We'll use tomatoes for your centrioles, which are gonna move to opposite sides of you. Also, your yolk (nucleus) is going to start have its nuclear membrane break down. The homologous chromosomes are going to cross over.
- Then I'll need you to switch to Metaphase I. You just need to move the bell peppers (chromosomes) to the cell's center, so switching should be simple (egg white). The homologous chromosomes will be adjacent to one another. In your case, spindle fibers or milk will be added, and it will connect to the centromeres or center of the bell peppers.
- I'm doing it!
- Time for Anaphase I! The milk is going take on for this transition, because its going to pull the bell peppers to each side.
- This is too easy!
- Anaphase II is upon us!! The cheese is going to work again, and is going to pull the bell peppers apart, grab on to one half (sister chromatids), and pull to each side. This is our last stage having two copies of peppers in each cell, or being diploid.
- Doing well, almost there!
- WOW!!! SO yummy!!
- The most exciting part is right here! cytokinesis and telophase II. Our two diploid eggs will be transformed into four haploid eggs (sorry customer, you only get one pepper per egg). All we need to do is cut each egg in half, and we're good to go! Gametes, or sex cells, are represented by these 4 eggs.
- Here are your gamet- I mean... eggs! Enjoy!
- Thanks!
- Gametes??
