Mitosis- How do your cells reproduce for growth and repair?
Once you have successfully duplicated cells, read the information and progress through the site. Watch the video on cell division. [|Mitosis animation]
 * February 28-** Try this game to learn about cell division. [|Cells] Hints: keep energy at its maximum, watch the dial to see what stage you are on.

Test yourself. Take quiz #1 and #2. Make a screen shot of your result and upload it on Moodle. You must get at least 6 out of 8 correct to move on. Watch the videos on the site to score better. [|Quiz]
