Quotidian: day 5. Embroidering sex

Qsk3.jpg

Oh, I'm just so childish. It took me a while to think about which of the words 'sex, computers, bread, computers' I wanted to illustrate- ok, it didn't take me a second. However, the question was, how? Well I have a PhD in Molecular Genetics, so the answer wasn't difficult: an extremely simplified diagram of meiosis, the specific type of cell division required for sexual reproduction, in particular, part of meiosis II (heading towards anaphase II). Hope that's clear.

I knew it was meiosis right away! Of course, I'm a geneticist. ;)
