Required Videos

The 6 required videos linked below describe cellular division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. As you watch the videos, you should think about how theses different processes are similar and different. Some of these videos also talk about the eukaryotic cellular process of meiosis, however, we will not focus on meiosis until next week. Therefore, focus your attention on the cell cycle, mitosis, and binary fission for this week.

Mitosis: The Amazing Cell Process that Uses Division to Multiply! (Updated)

Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis

Phases of Mitosis

Mitosis: Splitting Up is Complicated - Crash Course Biology #12

Cell Division

Biology - What is Binary fission? #5

The four videos linked below describe uncontrolled cell reproduction. You should think about how and why uncontrolled cell reproduction takes place and the control mechanisms cell posses to prevent uncontrolled reproduction from occurring.

The Cell Cycle (and cancer) [Updated]

Cancer: Unregulated Cell Division

Oncogenetics - Mechanism of Cancer (tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes)

Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes

Optional Videos

The two videos linked below describe cellular communication in terms of the nervous system. It's outside of the scope of this course but super cool and totally relates to this week's reading.
