Can you name a type of reproduction that produces no variation in the offspring? The multimedia lesson covers both sexual and asexual reproduction through videos and discussions. It includes topics such as genetic modification, meiosis,...

For scholars tired of reading the textbook, this unit includes nine hands-on lessons. Through group work, lab activities, experiments, and even one inquiry-based lesson, scholars apply knowledge about cells, genetics, and...

The third in a series of 10 STEM project-based lessons focuses on cells types, functions, and physiology. Through research, discussions, writings, and presentations, groups learn about the difference between plant and animal cells, the...

A pinch of adenine, a dash of thymine and ta-da, you have life! Well, it's not quite that simple, but through this series of activities and experiments young scientists learn about the structure of DNA and how it contains the recipe...

Get up close and personal with cells in a hands-on journey to discover what makes up living things. Scholars learn valuable microscope skills, delve into the Modern Cell Theory, and gain insight into how cells reproduce. The included lab...

An excellent, concise description of the process of mitosis. There are links to mitosis labs, mitosis movies and other links relating to mitosis.

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A description of the stages of eukaryotic cell division, a summarization of mitosis and the metaphase plate, an explanation of the function of the centrioles and the...

[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...

The Cell Biology Project at the University of Arizona provides an explanation of mitosis, DNA basics, diagrams and a practice exercise.

This animated explanation introduces the concept of mitosis by reviewing the research of Walther Flemming.

This lesson will explain how the process of Mitosis can be used to duplicate chromosomes. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "General Mitosis Overview."

This lesson focuses on cloning. Plants can make identical copies of themselves by asexual reproduction, for example by tubers and runners. Humans have been cloning plants for years and have recently started to develop techniques to clone...

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...

Through informational text, interactive simulations, and step-through animations, students discover two major processes of cell reproduction; mitosis and meiosis.

This multimedia article includes animations, pictures, video, biographical information, and quiz questions that are accessed by clicking on buttons along the bottom of the page. The topic is the study of cell division, mitosis, and cell...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] No matter what the cell, all cells come from preexisting cells through the process of cell division. This module provides an overview of cell division in prokaryotes...

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...

Mitosis and meiosis are two ways that cells reproduce.

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....

Chromosomes carry genetic information in a molecule called DNA. A type of cell division called mitosis ensures that when a cell divides each new cell produced has the same genetic information.

Chromosomes carry genetic information in a molecule called DNA. A type of cell division called mitosis ensures that when a cell divides each new cell produced has the same genetic information. Links to a video and a test are provided.
