Cell Specialization and Reproduction
Understanding How Cells Divide and Differentiate
Here's a high/low look at how organisms grow and how specialized cells, tissues, and organs develop. Cell processes, including mitosis and meiosis, are covered in depth, complete with several illustrations that identify key components of each cell at each stage of development. This high/low book introduces students to the concepts of cell differentiation, genetic structure, DNA, and how complex multicellular organisms are formed. The final chapter ties it all together with an examination of the pros and cons of both stem cell research and cloning.
