Understanding Mitosis: An Analogy Project Explained
Mitosis is the cell duplication process consisting of five stages - Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (PMAT). This analogy project by Avelina and Marissa creatively compares mitosis to a Physical Education class activity, making the complex scientific concept easy to grasp. The stages of mitosis are intricately linked to actions in the PE class, providing a relatable and engaging way to understand cell division. Through visuals and descriptions, the project illustrates how cells replicate and divide, mirroring the group dynamics and movements in a school gym activity.

MITOSIS ANALOGY PROJECT By Avelina and Marissa
So, What is Mitosis? Mitosis is the process of cells duplicating to create other cells. Mitosis consists of five stages, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase (PMAT).
Name of Cell Stage Prophase What the Cell Stage Does During the early prophase, spindle fibers start forming around the sister chromatids. During the later prophase, the spindle fibers finish forming and attach onto the chronozones. As mentioned in the previous slide, there are four stages of the cell cycle, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and finally, Telophase. (Also known as PMAT). This table shows what the four cell cycles and what they do. Metaphase During the Metaphase, the spindle fibers begin to pull the sister chromatids in a straight line. During the Anaphase, the spindle fibers begin to contract and pull the sister chromatids apart. The chonozones are at the opposite ends of the cell and a nuclear membrane forms around the chonozones Anaphase Telophase
The Slides in our Analogy We Made an Analogy representing Mitosis. Our Analogy is PE in school, like how the teacher tells you to get into partners then splits all the partners up to form two groups. the game The teacher tells the students to get in a line so that they can split up the pares into two teams Analogy Stages The students walk about the gym in partners Mitosis Stages The chronozones float inside the cell, connected in two by a centromere The Spindle Fibers finish forming and attach to the chronozones The teacher tells the students to gather around and prepare for The Spindle Fibers pull the chronozones into a straight line before they are pulled apart The teacher puts one of the pare into one group, and the other into the second group There are now two teams in the gym The Spindle Fibers contract and pull the two chronozones apart There are now two groups of chronozones that are ready to split
