Mapping the Architecture of Life Through Cell Division
In short: This video guides you through the fundamental processes of mitosis and meiosis, moving from visual cell counting to complex genetic mapping.
Paul Andersen explores how cells replicate and diversify by comparing mitosis and meiosis. The lesson provides a practical methodology for constructing a cell cycle pie chart based on the observed frequency of cells in various mitotic phases.
Beyond basic division, the video demonstrates how to use the fungus Sordaria to calculate map units. This is achieved by analyzing the frequency of crossovers during genetic recombination.
