Mitosis by the Amoeba Sisters explains the process knwon as mitosis, in which cells repliate. Mitosis is done by most organisms. First, the chromosomes in a cell replicate, going from 23 to 46. These chromosomes pair up, called "homogolous pairs." Second, the chromosomes link together, in a process known as "crossing over." Crossing over happens when two homogolous pairs exchange genetic code. This is how alleles are formed. Next, the chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell. The homoglous pairs then split up, lining up at each pole. The cell then splits in half, creating two cells with identical genetic code.

We watched this text in science because it was relevant to our topic of biology. We wer elearning about sexual and asexual reproduction, and mitosis is present in both.
