    • Cell division - Edexcel

      Mitosis is a type of cell division which produces two identical diploid daughter cells. Cancerous tumours are either malignant or benign. Specialised cells are formed when stem cells differentiate.

    • QUIZ: Cell division

      This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology students studying cell division and the process of mitosis.

    • Interactive activity: Mitosis - Edexcel

      Visualise the steps of mitosis and interact with them in this BBC Bitesize activity written to the Edexcel GCSE biology specification.

    • Coordination and control - The nervous system - Edexcel

      The nervous system enables humans to react to their surroundings and to coordinate their behaviour. It comprises billions of neurones, and it uses electrical impulses to communicate very quickly.

    • QUIZ: The nervous system

      This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying the nervous system and how it enables humans to coordinate movement.

    • QUIZ: Types of cell

      This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying cells and the different cell types.

    • Sample exam questions - cells and control - Edexcel

      Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
