All right, you and I both know I can't get away with just telling you about meiosis. You gotta know mitosis, too. Recap: Mitosis is the process in which your nucleus divides. It happens like this: Interphase, Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Now, some people don't consider Prometaphase a real step, and some people don't consider Interphase a real step. Either way, they happen, so it doesn't really matter if it's a step or not, now does it? After Telophase, Cytokinesis occurs. I already put this video on my mitosis blog, but I like the song. It's catchy:
It really explains mitosis, doesn't it? Yeah. I agree. So, sonce this blog is on meiosis, not mitosis, I'll let the video explain.
Meiosis is coolio. It's like mitosis, but with key differences. Here—
That one was awfully catchy, too, don't you agree? Well, meiosis is pretty cool. Wait... I already said that.... okay, meiosis is awesome... I guess. It's basically up to you to decide if it's coolio or not. Okay, so meiosis may be a little confusing. So, how is meiosis different from mitosis? Well, it does twice as many steps as mitosis. See, mitosis is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and so on. But meiosis has Prophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase I, Metaphase II, ans so on. That's a big difference, wouldn't you agree? Another difference is that meiosis square dances and mitosis doesn't... not. Even though that is a difference. Another difference is that at the end of mitosis, there are two cells— okay, two nucleii, but still. After Cytokinesis, there are two cells. After meiosis, there are four cells. Cool, huh? Yep. Coolio all the way.
