The Cell Cycle and Mitosis and Cancer

Unlock the full lesson!

In this video, learn about one of the most important topics in Biology – Mitosis! Learn what we mean by chromosomes, chromatids and centromeres and understand what chromosomes look like throughout mitosis. You’ll be able to describe the cell cycle and its different stages (interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis) and talk about what happens to the chromosomes throughout. Learn how to recognise if a cell is dividing from an image. Learn how to calculate the length of stages in a cell cycle. Learn that when mitosis goes wrong, cancer can occur. Learn the different types of cancer and risk factors associated with it. Finish off with some targeted exam practise where I give tips and tricks to squeeze as many marks out of the questions as possible.
