The Cell Cycle and Mitosis
You know that all living things come from cells, and that all cells come from other cells. You also know that the ideal cell size is microscopically small, but some multicellular organisms, like whales or elephants, are huge. How do they grow so large? How do they end up with so many cells? In this module, you will learn about how and why cells divide and reproduce.
Essential Questions
- How and why do cells divide?
