I’m Cell-U-lar
Directions: You have just discovered this new species. This new species can either be a eukaryotic cell or a prokaryote cell. You must
determine and draw how this cell divides/reproduces and diagram the cell's parts in the space below. As an added twist, you can
make this cell superior to all other cells. (It can have super cellular powers and some of your genotype and phenotype attributes.) Be
creative and do your research! Write a short story that tells how you discovered this new species and the cell’s life story.
