Description: Uses stained cells, animation, and time-lapse cinephotomicrography of living cells to compare mitosis and meiosis. Shows onion root tip, whitefish embryo, salamander epidermal, and living Tradescantia staminal hair cells photographed in time-lapse photography to present the details of mitosis. Portrays the basic features of meiosis by using lily anther cells and living sperm cells of a grasshopper photographed by time-lapse photography. Animation sequences give a side-by-side comparison of the two processes and show how mitosis, meiosis, and fertilization fit into the life cycle of common organisms.
