Hey everyone! This week in class, we learned about meiosis in both plant and animal cells. My partner and I created a video using stop-motion to depict and explain in detail the process of meiosis, specifically in plant cells. Meiosis is a process that is broken up into 2 steps. The goal of meiosis is to divide a diploid cell, or parent cell, into 4 haploid cells, or daughter cells. The diploid's duplicated DNA is transferred into the haploid cells with half the number of duplicated chromosomes. Check it out and feel free to leave a comment!
The process of making this video was a little challenging at first, but overall, it was really fun and informative. As I was physically making this project, I was able to learn about meiosis more effectively. I have now retained more information than I probably would have if I had simply taken notes on meiosis in class. Using the app, Stop Motion Studio, made the process much easier by using techniques to take multiple pictures at a time. I have definitely gained something from this project and I cannot wait to use stop-motion again in the future!
