Got Mitosis?

It’s a time of great discovery! The human cell has just been discovered and the scientific

world is anxious to know more about them. A Billionaire, named Fairly Goolookin, is willing to pay 1 million dollars for any information given about these new cells. However, Mr.

Goolookin will need you to give a LIVE report on what you have found in order for you to
