I have never learned as much on a farm trip as I did when my class went to the farm last year in Nanjing, China. Like most people, I had never thought about how little pigs get to be big pigs. Before I go to the farm with my classmates, I went to that farm, I saw a lot of little pigs. After half year, they are all get to be big pigs. I think that is impossible that the little pigs can get to be big pigs so quickly. So, I researched. Here’s how little pigs get to be big pigs process. Everyone knows there are a lot of cells in our human body. Little pigs also have cells in their body. So, the first stage is called interphase. Interphase is the step before cell division. During interphase, the cell grows, makes a copy of its DNA, and prepares to divide into two cells. During the first part of interphase, the cell grows to its full size and produces structures it needs. In the next part of interphase, the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its nucleus. When the DNA has replicated, preparation for cell division begins.…show more content…
Mitosis is the step during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei. During mitosis, one copy of the DNA is distributed into each of the two daughter cells. Scientists divide mitosis into four parts (phases): prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During prophase, the thread-like chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form double-rod structures called chromosomes. During metaphase, the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere. During anaphase, the centromeres split, the two chromatids separate, and each chromatid becomes a new chromosome. During the last part of mitosis —— telophase, the chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rodlike appearance. A new nuclear envelope forms around each chromosomes. The DNA is once again separated from the cytoplasm by a
