Basics of Genetics: Cellular Reproduction: Mitosis, Cytokinesis, and the Cell Cycle DVD

The program starts by introducing the cell cycle and briefly describing the process of binary fusion in prokaryotic cells before going on to a detailed look at the eukaryotic cell cycle from the G₁, S, and G₂ phases of interphase through the prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase of mitosis. The difference between cytokinesis in animal and plant cells is then illustrated. The program concludes by explaining why an understanding of cellular division is critical to conquering cancer, cloning organs, and perhaps even reversing aging. 2005.
