Hand dance question

Many of you have been asking lately... you can make up as much of the hand dance as you want, as long as you include the following:

Interphase - that DNA duplicates & the cell gets larger
Prophase - Spindle fibers & chromosomes form
Metaphase - Chromosomes line up
Anaphase - Chromosomes separate to opposite ends
Telophase - Cell starts to split and nuclear membrane forms
Cytokinesis - Cell splits into two!

Please be as creative as you want, but remember: YOUR HAND DANCES NEED TO BE SHOWN TO ME BEFORE I LEAVE ON THURSDAY!!!!!! If you don't want to perform in front of class, make an appointment with me and we can arrange it - you can either leave a comment on the BLOG or EMAIL me or ask me in class
