Amoeba Sisters: Meiosis
This video will guide students through the process of meiosis. Understand why meiosis is called the reduction division and how it produces unique cells. Also discussed in the video is the differences and similarities between mitosis and...

Learn how homologous chromosomes separate into two sets during prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I. [9:44]
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Reproduction and Cell Division: Chromosomal Crossover in Meiosis I
Learn how homologous chromosomes exchange fragments in prophase I, tetrads, chiasmata, and alleles. [12:15]
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Reproduction and Cell Division: Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis
Comparison of the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Boveri Sutton Chromosome Theory
Overview of how chromosomes were first proposed as the carriers of Mendel's 'heritable factors' (what we now call 'genes'). [10:58]
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Zygote Differentiating Into Somatic and Germ Cells
In this video [9:34] learn how a zygote, the single cell produced by fertilization, divides by mitosis to produce all the tissues of the human body (including germ cells, which can undergo meiosis to make sperm and eggs).

Bozeman Science: Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis
Paul Andersen explains how the cell cycle is used to create new cells. The creation of identical diploid daughter cells, through mitosis, is described. The creation of unique haploid daughter cells, through meiosis is also described....

Bozeman Science: The Sodaria Cross
In this video, Paul Andersen shows you how a cross between mutant and wild types of Sordaria fimicola can be used to show and measure frequency of crossing-over. He begins by reviewing the process of meiosis in a typical organism. He...

Bozeman Science: Variation of Traits
In this video, Paul Andersen explains how variation is created in a population over time. Variation in offspring is caused by genetic recombination, mutations and environmental effects. Parental DNA is recombined using the process of...
