10.1 Meiosis

10.1 meiosis from Bob Smullen

Here are some fantastic animated tutorials about Meiosis from McGraw Hill Education – how Meiosis works, the stages of Meiosis, Meiosis I, Meiosis II, Crossing-over, Independent Assortment & unique features of Meiosis.

From Sinauer Associates comes an animated, narrated tutorial on Independent Assortment which also includes a quiz; there’s also one on Independent Assortment & gamete diversity (with a quiz) and one on mistakes in meiosis – nondisjunction.

Mr. Andersen uses chromosome beads to simulate both Mitosis and Meiosis:

1.6 Cell Division notes to complete (created by Ms Green).

A 12m video lesson from Dan Rott:

Many assessment statements are covered in video lessons by Stephanie Castle.

A short, simple animation to show mitosis.

Here are some fantastic animated, narrated tutorials from McGraw Hill Education – how the Cell Cycle works, Cytokinesis, Mitosis & Cytokinesis & Mitosis. And here is an animated, narrated tutorial on Mitosis which also includes a quiz (from Sinauer Associates).

VCell productions’ animation Mitosis (6m 11s) is brilliant. We do need to know Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase, but not ‘prometaphase’:

Mitosis Rap: it’s bad but it’s good:

Mr Andersen describes Mitosis for us:

In Crash Course Biology #12 – Mitosis: Splitting up is Complicated, Hank describes mitosis and cytokinesis – the series of processes our cells go through to divide into two identical copies.

B9.2 Cell Division

Mitosis (in english). And here is Mitosis in american & mitosis – a 2m 45 s vid from Bitesize Top 20 Demos. Also here is What is Mitosis? (a 3m 45s lesson) & Mitosis music video by Peter Weatherall (2m 7s).

B9.2 Revision notes in download able format.

Here is Meiosis in american (and in more detail than you need).

Science Bank 9 (Cells & Tissues): Part 3 (from 9m 15s) also covers Mitosis & Meiosis. As does Cell Division (a 2m 3s vid from BBC iScience) & Cell Division (a 5m 23s vid from GCSE Bitesize).
