DescriptionLife is incredibly diverse; a living thing can be made up of one cell or billions of cells. In order for a single living cell to develop into a multi-cellular organism, processes called mitosis and cellular differentiation must occur. In this VLE we will use scientific modeling to explore how cellular division and differentiation produce and maintain complex organisms. We will even get a chance to investigate how introducing viruses or toxins during pregnancy can cause developmental abnormalities, just as the Zika virus is now linked to microcephaly in human babies!
