Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
Some living things reproduce by cloning; producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Organisms that procreate sexually create genetic novelty.

Mitosis & Meiosis Comparison
This article series provides information of how mitotic and meiotic cell division differ and how these processes are integral to the human life cycle.

Human Life Cycle Mitosis & Meiosis
It all begins with the fusion of a haploid sperm cell provided by the father and the haploid ovum of the mother. Gametes unite when the nuclei of sperm and egg merge.

Meiosis & Sexual Reproduction
Meiosis, a type of cell division, results in production of gametes (eggs & sperm). Genetically unique sex cells combine at fertilization to form one-of-a-kind offspring.

Mitosis & Meiosis Difference
Mitosis is how the cells of our body make more cells for growth, development and repair. Meiosis is how our body makes sex cells, or gametes (eggs or sperm).

Cystic Fibrosis
Explains how one acquires Cystic Fibrosis as well as characteristics of the disease. It also explains that the disease is not contagious and is inherited genetically.

Ploidy: Diplod and Haploid
We are diploid organisms with two sets of homologous chromosomes, but we also contain haploid sex cells with one set and half the number.

Understanding the season of abundance
June is an intense period in the cycle of life and death. Over-production can puzzle and even appall us, but plays an essential role in the strength of our environment.

What Is a Genetic DNA Mutation?
A mutation is a rare change in a gene's DNA sequence that can result in a defective cellular protein. This article covers the basics of genetic mutation.
