Comparing the Mechanisms of Nature

Have you ever wondered how cell division differs amongst different cell types? Take a close look at plant and animal cell division in the Comparative Cell Division application. Compare the 2D schematic animations side-by-side or focus on the realistic 3d videos. The animated division clock provides a real-time update and description of the stages of division, number of divisions completed and the total number of daughter cells for a deeper understanding of cell division.
