Chromosomes, Mitosis, and the Cell Cycle: How New Cells are Made for Growth and Repair
The video explains the process of cell division and the importance of chromosomes and mitosis in the growth and repair of cells in animals and humans. It begins by introducing the concept of cells dividing in stages called the cell...

Transcription and Translation: From DNA to Protein
Ok, so everyone knows that DNA is the genetic code, but what does that mean? How can some little molecule be a code that makes a single cell develop into a giraffe, or a monkey, or Tony Danza? Within this clip lie the answers, child!

DNA Replication: Copying the Molecule of Life
Your DNA needs to be in every cell in your body, so what happens when cells divide? How does each new cell retain all of the genetic information? The DNA is able to copy itself through a process called replication. Let's go through the...

Meiosis, Gametes, and the Human Life Cycle
We know that your body produces more cells through mitosis. But where did your very first cell come from? It can't have been mitosis, because mitosis needs a cell to start with. As it turns out, meiosis and subsequent fertilization are...

Understanding Common Cell Parts
This video provides an introduction to cells and their structures. It explains that cells are too small to be seen with the naked eye and that the cell membrane holds the cell together while controlling the movement of materials. It also...

Virus Life Cycle
In this video we are going to look at what happens when a virus invades a host cell. You should already have an understanding of what viruses are.

The Cell Cycle and its Regulation
Your cells have to divide when you're growing, to heal wounds, and to replace dead cells. But how do cells know when to divide and when not to divide? We can't have cells just growing willy-nilly! That's what cancer is, and that's bad....
