1. Was mitosis or meiosis easier to model?
Mitosis was easier to model as it had an identifiable start and finish. Since meiosis one and two are linked, meiosis is more challenging to model. In contrast with meiosis, that must be revised as it takes too long to illustrate both parts, mitosis may easily fit within one class block.
2. What was the most challenging thing in making your movie?
The most challenging aspect of this project was editing the final clip. This was the most challenging because with the drawing portion we had examples to base it on but with the editing we had make it up as we went.
3. What was the easiest thing to do in making your movie?
The schedule sheet was the easiest component of this assignment to complete because we had already gotten the unit package that included a breakdown of each mitosis and meiosis procedures.
4. How could you improve your movie?
we could prove our movie by putting all the photos in the same position. When we were taking pictures, we used the stand but between the days the other classes would use it and it would change positions. Although we did try to keep in the stands in the same place it didn’t turn out how we wanted too.
5. Thinking about how you worked with your partner(s), what were some of the challenges and successes of working in a group?
When working in partners there can be challenges with someone not being there for the day because then you must do all the work for that day , but we didn’t struggle with this. If I remember correctly, it was only one or two days one of us were not there or late. When working in a group it makes the project easier because if you’re not sure of something instead of stressing about it you can ask your partner and they can help you with it.
6. Why is Mitosis important? In other words, what is the point of cells performing Mitosis?
New cells that are genetically identical to each other are produced throughout mitosis. Mitosis encourages development of cells and healing of tissues.
7. Why is Meiosis important? In other words, what is the point of cells performing Meiosis?
The biological process of meiosis is crucial to guarantee that all organisms generated via sexual reproduction have the proper quantity of chromosomes. Meiosis additionally generates variation in genes through the process of recomination.
