Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis
Aren't mitosis and meiosis the same thing? A helpful flow chart demonstrates the difference between mitosis and meiosis on Paul Andersen's Smart Board. Time lapse videos include show mitosis and cytokinesis.
Khan Academy
Mitosis, Cells, MCAT
The lecturer starts by emphasizing that the mitotic process is a separate mechanism from cytokinesis—the cytoplasm splitting to become two cells. The video continues by explaining the stages of mitosis in great detail. Each stage is...
