Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

The human body contains about 100 trillion cells, each working together in a complex symphony of interactions. With the exception of red blood cells, which contain no nucleus and no nuclear DNA ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus ...
