This video explains the stages of mitosis, contrasts them with meiosis and the creation of haploid gametes, and concludes by showing how gametes fuse during fertilisation to form a zygote.

Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...
