I hope this helps everyone love Gregor Mendel and meiosis!

I combined the videos of “Hi, Meiosis” and “Gregor Mendel Rap” to make meiosis a bit more exciting or at least funny…

This time, I decided to photoshop the god of peas…Mendel   Enjoy:

This is me playing with photoshop – I know, its not very exciting.  My creativity leaves alot to be desired.  However, I was trying to make something into another.  On top is the original picture of a washcloth knitted in the shape of a flower.  On the bottom is the photoshopped version, which I tried to make look like an elephant.  Don’t be too harsh!
