About the Mitosis Virtual Lab Simulation
In the Mitosis lab, you will be able to watch 3D animations and dive into a mammalian cell to learn about eukaryotic DNA packaging. You will perform a series of microscope examinations, light and fluorescent, to understand the stages of the cell cycle using mammalian cells and onion root tip cells. Both mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division. In this lab, you will learn the differences between them.
Learn about cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases to understand how the cell cycle is regulated. You will experiment using various cellular parameters and observe the effect of each parameter in the progression of the cell cycle. What does the cell need to be able to divide correctly?
In the last part of the lab, you will test the effect of taxol on mammalian cells. From there, you will be able to conclude the effect that this plant poison has on cell division. Will the poison inhibit or accelerate cell division? How will this affect the survival of the organisms?

What students think about Labster:
"A very innovative, immersive learning experience. It allows you to be more confident before going to the real laboratory. It's mind-blowing!"
Alice
Student Ambassador at Exeter Uni
"A great way to learn, because it can be very hard if you are just taught the theory - here you can try it yourself."
Ellie
Student Ambassador at Exeter Uni
"More people should know about this! Some students don't really like science and this tool is amazing to get students passionate about science by making it fun and easy to learn."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm using Labster as part of my course. Do I need to buy a subscription?
If you are enrolled in a class and instructed by your teacher to use Labster, please make sure you use the sign-up information that has been provided by your teacher. Otherwise, they will not be able to follow your progress and achievements, and you may need to purchase a license twice.
How many simulations will I get access to?
You will get unlimited access to all our simulations. We release new simulations nearly every month, and you can always see an overview of all our simulations in our simulation catalog.
When will my account renew?
Your subscription will renew automatically each month after the free trial is over, unless you have made a single simulation purchase.
How can I cancel my subscription?
If you would like to unsubscribe, please use this form. An automated confirmation email will be sent out to you in the next few minutes. Click the confirmation link contained in the email in order to finalize the termination of your subscription.
