The Adventures of Kevin and Rex in Cell Division
By Paulina De La Fuente & Kalli Hanson

Today is a very special day for Kevin because he finally gets to go through the cell cycle. But not just
anyone can go through the cell cycle. You can only participate when your type of cell is "ready". Kevin was a skin cell, so he got to divide quicker than a brain cell
or heart cell.
YAY!!

Dividing was such a big deal to the community, that they were congratulating him all day!
Thank you!
Congrats!
Woohoo!
Finally!
Aw, you’re all grown up
now!

As Kevin strolled over to the factory, he ran into his old friend Rex.
Hey! Rex! Over here!
It’s me: your old pal!!
Oh. Hi Kevin.

But little did Kevin know that Rex was jealous of him because Rex had to wait longer to divide, being a
brain cell and all.
I can’t believe you finally get
to divide! You’re
awesome!!
Urg!! I wish I could
divide too!

While they walked over to the cell-dividing factory together, Rex began to plot how to shut down the
factory so that no other cells would have the chance to divide.
I can’t believe I finally get to divide….bla
bla bla….
……and that way no one else will be
able to divide!!!

Finally, after a long walk, they got to the factory.
Hey buddy! I’m gonna wait
for you out here.
Alrighty!

So Kevin went inside the factory, and started to divide.

So Kevin went inside the factory, and started to divide.

In Prophase, the first stage in cell division, the nucleus starts to disappear. Also, the chromatin coils to form
visible chromosomes.
![Page 11: Story Book](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/558e5e581a28ab06548b4785/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But as Kevin was dividing in the factory, Rex started to figure out ideas to shut down the factory so that no
other cells could divide.
![Page 12: Story Book](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/558e5e581a28ab06548b4785/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Kevin, meanwhile, was in the next stage called Metaphase. Which is where the chromosomes move
to the equator of the spindle.

Then, Rex decided that he would carry out his great plans to shut down the factory.
•Pull fire alarm to make everyone leave and lock them out.

But that did not work because there were policemen
in the front of the building who wouldn’t let him in.
P P
Nevermind

In the meantime, Kevin was inside in the stage: Anaphase, which is when the centromeres split and
the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Because Rex’s first plan didn’t work, he decided to carry out Plan B.
•Pull fire alarm to make everyone leave and lock them out.
•Sneak in through the back.

Rex sneaked in the back way, not knowing that there were 3 guards waiting behind the door.

Hey! Where do you think
you’re going!?!?!
Uh-oh

OUCH
![Page 26: Story Book](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/558e5e581a28ab06548b4785/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Kevin had finally gotten to the final stage of the cell cycle: Telophase. Here, the two distinct daughter
cells are formed. The cells seperate as the cell cycle proceeds into the next interphase called cytokinesis.

P P
Hey! You! Come with
us!
Why?
Because! You tried to shut down
the factory TWICE!...you’re
going to jail.

And just before Rex got taken to jail….

Kevin came to the rescue by stopping the police from taking Rex.
P P
NOOO!!!

After seeing how nice Kevin was, Rex decided to be nice too and they became
best friends.
