Diploid vs. Haploid Cells
In this video Paul Andersen explains the difference between diploid and haploid cells. He starts with a brief description of the central dogma and how genes code for proteins. He then uses the phenotype of red hair to explain that humans...

Cell Division
Paul Andersen explains how cells duplicate through the process of cell division. Prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) duplicate through a process of binary fission. Eukaryotic cells (like you) duplicate body cells through mitosis and create...

Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis
Paul Andersen explains how the cell cycle is used to create new cells. The creation of identical diploid daughter cells, through mitosis, is described. The creation of unique haploid daughter cells, through meiosis is also described. The...

GCSE Biology - Meiosis #70
Meiosis is the process of cell division that gives us gametes such as sperm and egg cells. This video covers how the process works, why gametes are so important, and explains chromosomes.

Meiosis, Gametes, and the Human Life Cycle
We know that your body produces more cells through mitosis. But where did your very first cell come from? It can't have been mitosis, because mitosis needs a cell to start with. As it turns out, meiosis and subsequent fertilization are...
