Chromosomes, Mitosis, and the Cell Cycle: How New Cells are Made for Growth and Repair
The video explains the process of cell division and the importance of chromosomes and mitosis in the growth and repair of cells in animals and humans. It begins by introducing the concept of cells dividing in stages called the cell...

What is Cancer?
Cancer is the ultimate expiration date for biological life. But what is it? How does it occur? Is there anything we can do about it? Let's take a brief look at this incredibly complex issue.

Mitosis: How One Cell Becomes Two
We know that we are made of cells. But we start out as just one tiny little cell in the womb. How does that become enough cells to look like a baby? And how does that baby get enough cells to become an adult? The answer is mitosis! This...

The Cell Cycle and its Regulation
Your cells have to divide when you're growing, to heal wounds, and to replace dead cells. But how do cells know when to divide and when not to divide? We can't have cells just growing willy-nilly! That's what cancer is, and that's bad....
