Concepts

the cell cycle, cells, chromosomes, cytokinesis, interphase, meiosis, mitosis

Additional Tags

cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, diploid cell, chromosomes, haploid cell, cytokinesis, interphase, cyclin, cdk, science

Classroom Considerations

  • You'll need to incorporate the video into your instruction or have learners pause at certain points, as the length would not make the 13-minute video an optimal homework assignment

Pros

  • Uses clear diagrams are used to portray the cell cycle
  • A helpful addition to your biology lesson

Cons

  • None
