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...

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

[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...

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...

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

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

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....

Mitosis and meiosis are two ways that cells reproduce.

Through informational text, interactive activities, online labs, and video animations, students explore the major concepts of cell reproduction.

Learn how offspring are created through the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction.
