This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for a unit on cell division and the cell life cycle.

Clearly presents the steps in meiosis and mitosis with each step accompanied by an illustrated fact card.

A useful review of plant meristems, growth and cell wall construction. Good illustrations make for easy to understand information.

Discusses the three methods of cell division - mitosis, meiosis, and binary fission.

Tutorial examines how a cell divides to make two genetically identical cells and explores the four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Read a brief introduction to mitosis, and then click on the 5 phases to read details and view photos of each in progress. Photo examples are excellent.

Discusses the discovery of centrosomes, their important role in mitosis in animal cells, and their other functions.

The differences between mitosis and meiosis are explained in this resource. Includes labeled diagrams showing what happens during each and a chart giving an overview of their differences.

Find out about the basics of mitosis and meiosis with this comparison chart. Then read the article, study the diagrams, and watch the videos to go further into the subject.

A complete site from iKnow.net that compares the various phases of mitosis in plant and animal cells. Text is supplemented with pictures of each phase.

The phases of mitosis are described and the splitting of a cell into two daughter cells at the end of it.

Just like mitosis creates two identical healthy cells from one, it also enables cancer cells to duplicate themselves, facilitating the spread of the disease.

Nondisjunction is when homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate normally during cell division. What it is and how this happens are explained here, as well as what can cause it and what impact it has on human health.

This site from Wikipedia the encyclopedia is a concise site that is technical in nature but links are provided for clarification. Includes a comparison between meiosis and mitosis.

Explains what chromosomes are, how chromatids are related to them, and how they function together during cell division.

Describes the structure and functions of centrioles within a cell.
