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....

In this third unit of a Biology course, students learn about cells and cell structure. They compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and learn about the specialized structures in a cell and what their functions are. They will also learn...

Overview of mitosis and the cell structures that are critical to the process.

Review, identify, and describe the important steps in the cell reproduction of whitefish, onion root, and lily anther, and quiz yourself on the similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis. A "Cell Division Construction Kit"...

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

[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...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The process of cell division in eukaryotic cells is carefully controlled. The cell cycle is the life cycle of a cell, with cell division at the end of the cycle....

Use diagrams to help understand meiosis and mitosis.

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

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...

Read a brief introduction to mitosis, and then click on the 5 phases to read details and view photos of each in progress. Photo examples are excellent.

The differences between mitosis and meiosis are explained in this resource. Includes labeled diagrams showing what happens during each and a chart giving an overview of their differences.

Understand what happens to a cell during mitosis.

Take this interactive, multiple-choice quiz over mitosis, then review your score and any missed questions at the end.

Understand the life cycle of a eukaryotic cell.

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...

This lesson includes a Power Point presentation that will guide the students 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...

Find out about the basics of mitosis and meiosis with this comparison chart. Then read the article, study the diagrams, and watch the videos to go further into the subject.

An informational text about mitosis and its role in reproduction. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] DNA must replicate (copy) itself so that each resulting cell after mitosis and cell division has the same DNA as the parent cell. DNA replication occurs during the S...

The phases of mitosis are described and the splitting of a cell into two daughter cells at the end of it.

Explain what mitosis is and its different stages.

Five self-checking quiz questions to check student understanding of mitosis and cytokinesis.

[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...
