Test your knowledge on cell cycle with this multiple choice quiz.

Meiosis is used to make sperm and egg cells. During meiosis, a cell's chromosomes are copied once, but the cell divides twice. During mitosis, the chromosomes are copied once, and the cell divides once. For simplicity, cells are...

This lesson includes a Power Point presentation that will guide the young scholars through an investigation of mitosis, or cellular division. The lesson will review the basic functions and parts of animal and plant cells and then...

Animation studio that specializes in medical illustration lets you explore the structure and function of plant cells and animal cells, using videos and interactive graphics with clickable parts that lead to more detail.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A description of the stages of eukaryotic cell division.

This web resource provides basic information about structure and function of plant organelles through a large interactive cell drawing, as well as many opportunities to explore further. Links lead the learner to several short movies of...

This study resource from Khan Academy provides practice questions for the MCAT. "Cellular division" questions are provided on this resource.

Understand the life cycle of a eukaryotic cell.

Online mitosis activity offers the student the opportunity to identify, classify, calculate, and graph the phases of mitosis. Explanations of each phase, actual cells are displayed for classifying and gathering data in this comprehensive...

This video segment, adapted from the Interactive Secret of Life videodisc, explains the stages of mitosis, the process of dividing equally a cell's massive jumble of DNA just prior to cell division. [1:34]

This lesson focuses on cell specialization. This cell must divide to produce a multi-cellular organism. It must also differentiate, so that its cells develop features that enable them to fulfil specific roles. Links are provided to a...

In this activity you will examine surface area and volume of cells and will describe the relationship between surface area and volume of cells.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How do you make a cell with half the DNA? Meiosis. This activity outlines the phases of meiosis, provides an overview of sexual reproduction, and describe how...

Within every cell in our body, two copies of a tumor suppressor gene called BRCA1 are tasked with regulating the speed at which cells divide. This learning module explains how these genes can sometimes mutate, making those cells less...

Chromosomes are made from DNA. Genes are short sections of DNA. Genetically identical cells are produced by a type of cell division called mitosis. In sexual reproduction, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to produce a new cell....

See how cell division is essential for healthy growth of an organism, and how complex genetic mechanisms have evolved to switch cell division on and off at the proper time for normal development. [0:50]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] During mitosis, the DNA in a nucleus must replicate. The copied DNA is divided into two genetically identical sets, so that after cytokinesis or cell division, each...

Use this series of images depicting the process of mitosis in the early embryo of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster to make a mitosis flipbook. In this stage of Drosophila development, nuclei divide very rapidly without cell...

Tutorial explains the steps of bacterial binary fission which is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division.

This site provides simple diagrams on all major topics in cell biology, genetics and biotechnology.

This slideshow explains the process of how a neuron communicates.

Tutorial examines how a cell divides to make two genetically identical cells and explores the four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

This site will allow students to grasp the complex concept of meiosis by modeling the process with clay.
