Dr. Biology character

Hi, I'm Dr. Biology! This is my virtual laboratory, where my team of researchers and I have been studying cells. You must be the new intern. Welcome!

I'd recommend starting with the orientation.

But, if you already know your way around, feel free to use the Quick Links below to go straight to the section you're looking for.

Quick Links

1

Observe common cells to learn about their size and the size of their nucleus.

2

Learn about what happens to the size of the cell and nucleus in special situations such as growth, mutation, and cancer.

3

Use Dr. Biology's computer model, the Cell Simulator, to conduct your own experiments on a virtual cell. Observe how pressure from particles inside the cell affect the size of the cell and nucleus.

4

Test your knowedge by identifying mutant and cancer cells, and using the Cell Simulator to answer questions about the cell and nucleus sizes.
