Young biologists define reproduction vocabulary terms, answer critical-thinking questions, label a diagram of the human life cycle, and complete a chart comparing mitosis to meiosis. This is a well-balanced learning exercise. Even though...

These two pages cover the gamut of topics regarding reproduction and DNA replication. Structures, processes, functions, and reasons for them are tested here. The questions are mostly multiple choice, but there are also a few...

The many slides and images in this PowerPoint are clear and relevant to the detailed content covering the details of DNA structure, replication, cell differentiation, and mutation on an advanced level. The slideshow summarizes all of the...

The lecturer starts by emphasizing that the mitotic process is a separate mechanism to cytokinesis - the cytoplasm splitting to become 2 cells. The video continues explaining the stages of mitosis in great detail. Each stage is...

What did one cell say to his sister when she stepped on his toe? Mitosis! The video details the process of using division to multiply that is better known as mitosis. It includes the four steps of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase,...

Brief text summary of what students learn in the Mitosis, Meiosis and Fertilization lab, along with links to download Student Handouts in PDF and Word formats, and Teacher Preparation Notes in PDF format. The lab is a hands-on lesson...

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 for...

An informative video overviews haploid versus diploid cells, how meiosis, fertilization, and mitosis all work together, how mitosis and meiosis differ in their processes and end results, and concludes with a brief discussion about...

This cell biology lesson explains and illustrated the different phases of meiosis. Includes vocabulary and assessment links as well as othe related resources.

An excellent review of the very specific stages of mitosis, the detailed slides start with explanations of the directionality of DNA and then develop the concept of daughter strands. The intricate diagrams are intended for experienced...
