Resource provides a holistic and complete meiosis lesson with illustrations, animations, glossary, and links. Extremely detailed and helpful site.

A site about cell division and the cell cycle in the science of biology including mitosis, meiosis, and binary fission.

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...

Short animations, detailed information, and illustrated diagrams help explain the cell cycle and cellular division, focusing on binary fission and mitosis.

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...

This article illustrates the properties of cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Understand what happens to a cell during mitosis.

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

This article provides a discussion of DNA and how it replicates. Includes a chromosome map of a human male, a close-up of chromosomes just before cell division and a close up of a DNA molecule.

Explains what chromosomes are, how chromatids are related to them, and how they function together during cell division.
