Mitosis & Meiosis Breakout

Breakout Mitosis & Meiosis

START

Using a special laser beam, your class has been shrunken down to enter and explore a dividing cell. However, in order to grow back to normal size, everyone must be located outside of the cell. You must use your knowledge of mitosis and meiosis to escape the cell. Answer the questions at each level and be sure to record each answer. Once allfour questions have been answered, use the decoder to progress to the next level. You must hurry to escape the cell before your entire class stays small forever!
