Shara wakes up feeling nervous. She is is graduating from her school Interphase and going to a new one, Mitosis. At interphase all Shara did was prepare to do what all cells needed to do, to go through mitosis and split in to two new cells.
When Shara gets to her new school she is put in the first class at Mitosis, Prophase. ” Okay class” said the teacher “in the grade prophase your nuclear envelope will go away.” “What’s your nuclear envelope?” asked Shara. ” Your nuclear envelope is the purple circle in your body, when it goes away you will go to your next class, Metaphase”Answer the teacher. All the sudden Shara felt weird the purple circle in her was disappearing! ” Very well class your nuclear envelope has gone way, all of you line up you will go to Metaphase.”
The Teacher walked them to a new class. This class is called Metaphase. ” Now class” the new teacher said ” This is where your chromosomes line up in the middle of you.” “What is chromosomes” asked Shara. The teacher answers ” your chromosomes is the little red things in the middle of you they carry all of your DNA.” Shara looked down and all of the little red chromosomes were lining up in the middle of her.” ” Now you are ready for your next class, Anaphase.”
Now shara was less scared her teacher led her to a new class called Anaphase. ” In anaphase your chromatids get pulled by spindle fibers to each pole.” said the teacher. ” Your poles are on the top and bottom of you” the teacher explained, ” your spindle fibers are like ropes the lead the chromatids to the poles, a chromatid is like half a chromosome.” Shara looked down, the spindle fibers were pulling the chromosomes to the poles. ” Now you go to Telaphase” said the teacher.
Telaphase was shara’s last class at mitosis. After Telaphase she would go to a new school cytokinesis. The teacher started talking ” in telaphase you will form two new nuclei at each pole, your two new nuclei are the things that hold DNA for two new cells. Inside of shara two nuclei were forming.
Now shara went to her new school, Cytokinesis. ” Here you will split into two new cells called daughter cells” said a teacher. Shara felt funny and the room started spinning. “Hi” said a voice next to her, It was shara’s daughter cell. Shara had completed the cell cycle.
