 This educational CD-ROM is unique in its range and perspective. It starts at an elementary level, and then step-by-step explains in more detail the key events of mitosis and meiosis. It demystifies the seemingly magical processes involved. It was produced especially for secondary school students, but also offers important resource material for undergraduate university courses. The facts and the whys and the hows of mitosis and meiosis are presented, in two separate programs. A broader perspective is also given, including how mitosis is related to the cell cycle, development and cell differentiation; and the importance of meiosis to life cycles and genetics. The material used is new, high quality, exciting and superbly presented. Students and teachers alike get to love these twin, lookalike programs. Their use of the principles of teaching, of up-to-date scientific knowledge, and a range of multimedia tools, combine to make them quite unique. 

«This is an excellent application for either individual learning or for whole class teaching. It is ideal because the pathways offered give the student true choice and involvement in the activities, resulting in real learning.» -- Hannah Strange (Nottinghill and Ealing High School, London) in Journal of Biological Education 

«It kept an AS class happily learning for 40 minutes with the silence only being broken with 'ooh cool - look at this....» -- Hannah Strange (Nottinghill and Ealing High School, London) in Journal of Biological Education
