The House Get Split Up Too....
a: Meiosis ~
b: roommates splitting up
What: "Meiosis is like roommates splitting up and dividing their belongings. The division is more equitable if the towels are piled together and then divided up, the silverware piled together and divided and so forth, than if things are arbitrarily thrown into one pile or another as they are found. The first method ensures a more even distribution of items and is analogous to homologue pairing."

For Cotton Seeds
a: fertilization ~
b: a complex square-dance
What:
"Fertilization is like a complex square-dance of cells moving about, dividing and changing; if any part
gets out of step, the likely result is a mote and not a viable seed. With fertilization, the genetic cycle is now
completed as the fertilized embryo contains a full complement of genetic material"
