An artificial “superfood” that provides essential nutrients for bees results in colonies producing much more larvae, suggesting it could help tackle the global decline in honeybees. Bees need to eat ...

Animal sex is dizzyingly varied, and some mating methods make us wonder if we’d be able to tell whether we’re looking at a love scene, a fight, or just a friendly “Hello!” Check out these animals.

How is the same process responsible for genetic recombination and diversity also the cause of aneuploidy? Understanding the steps of meiosis is essential to learning how errors occur. Researchers' ...

Sometimes it’s easy to tell if something is living or not. A teddy bear might look like a bear, but it cannot do any of the seven things it needs to be able to do to count as being alive. A car can ...

Narrator: A flower isn’t just a pretty thing you give to someone special. It’s actually a complicated part of a plant. It produces seeds through a process called pollination. The flower’s stamen ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools and ...

In the animal kingdom, reproduction is a necessary part of species survival. Parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction where embryos develop from unfertilized eggs, has been observed in captive ...

In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes ...
