Cell Diagrams

• Animal and Plant Cells - Bacteria are single celled organisms. Their cells do NOT have proper nucleii. They have a circular molecule of DNA which contains all their genetic information.

• The Cell--Diagram - Dig into a fundamental unit of life for plants and animals, the cell. Includes images and a diagram

• Animal Cells - This schematic represents an idealized animal cell, e.g., a liver cell. The columns to the left and right of the labels contain links to discussions of the particular structures.

• Mitosis World - Cell division

• Mitosis - Mitosis is the process by which cells divide. The parent cell has already duplicated its chromosomes , providing both daughter cells with a complete copy of genetic information.

• An Introduction to Mitosis - Mitosis is the process that facilitates the equal partitioning of replicated chromosomes into two identical groups. Before partitioning can occur, the chromosomes must become aligned so that the separation process can occur in an orderly fashion. The alignment of replicated chromosomes and their separation into two groups is a process that can be observed in virtually all eukaryotic cells.
