MITOSIS

What a packed lesson! Provide your class with the opportunity to learn about the cell cycle in several exciting ways. Biologists first learn about the theory behind mitosis, then proceed to view onion tips under the microscope and create...

Emerging ecologists need a full understanding of life, from the inner workings of a cell to the complex relationships among organisms. This examination is meant to assess high schoolers after an entire year of courses on the living...

The 2005 version of the Regents High School Examination in ecology is as comprehensive as previous years' exams. It consists of 40 multiple-choice questions on topics ranging from the structure of DNA to interactions within an ecosystem....

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, is queried in this final examination. Learners examine air pollution maps, cell diagrams, population graphs, and drawings of cells. They...

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

You slough off all your skin cells once every seven years. Thank goodness for mitosis, or we would all be looking pretty strange without skin. The video begins by reviewing the cell cycle, looks at an overview of cells undergoing...

Although we cannot clone ourselves yet, our bodies make copies of our cells every day. The video begins by defining diploid and haploid. Learners see the cell cycle and begin to understand what happens in interphase before mitosis...

Watch as an animated cell goes through the process of mitosis as DNA coils and bunches into chromosomes. Once the nuclear membranes dissolve, spindles pull chromatids to opposite sides and stretch the cell. The video ends as mitosis...

Reward biology learners for working hard in their mitosis lesson with a sweet snack at the end! They begin by twisting apart creme-filled cookies and using the icing as a cytoplasm. Colored candy sprinkles make up chromosome pairs,...

Students discover the processes that occur during mitosis and what makes each phase different and distinct from the others as well as how each contribute to the overall process of mitosis by looking at onion root tips under a microscope.
