Synchronized Swimming Mitosis

[codwawkingxx]

Hi Mr. Roberts

[medvasya]

:) lol

[sfrance783]

nice one

[littleluigiloompa]

Awesome video to learn about mitosis :) but trust me... synchronized swimming is nothing like this- more like 40 seconds underwater and upside down with quick leg movements and lifts and basically 3 minutes of hell..

[MrKandamo]

suks

[TheLeilisa]

which swimming styles if done regularly will make you grow taller?

[JonasSUPERfan100]

my teacher showed this to us!

[sasa33pep]

we saw this in class XD

[BffsOfAwesome]

This is really cool!!! I have just finished my science protion on Mitosis and I really think this is a good way to show mitosis. Thank You!!!! :)

[Psizzzzzzle]

awesome! :D

[zimmawoman]

HAHAHAHA that was the best!

[qwertyuizx]

This is really creative hahah

[msptstatus]

cute

[roar2012]

haa!!! ending waz funnyy!!!!

sexy party after words!!

[skeletonjo90]

great for teaching kids!

[kevinkuei]

hahah, look at those spindle microtubules!!

[Nspinhead2]

(: It made me smile. hence smiley

[groovyoldlady]

Fabulous! There were centrioles and duplicated chromosomes and EVERYTHING!

[friedmanabc]

Love this! I think it is a hoot!!

[CamMci]

haha tetrad is an anagram of retard

[Bengeliscious]

actually... no. Two "T"s, one "R"

[iamamywaterhouse]

@CamMci Fail...

[notyourBRIDE]

What music did you use in this video? I really like it ;D

[LadyWeaxzezz]

It's Johann Strauss II's Blue Danube Waltz. :)

[101LukeBenward]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o funny!not lol

[Sklurch]

The very best.

[CannedPeanuts]

Haha great! :)

[awiseccny]

so funny

[zanna11623]

Awesome! this is so funny!!

[greenhowie]

silly but fun.

[industrialhemprocks]

the ending is the best part hahaha

[suracs]

lololol, I love it!

[infidelguy]

This was awesome!! lol

[exmerlin809]

this is sooo cool...

[Emma1092]

i am so going to show this tomorrow during bio.

awesome vid

[laceysgirl]

So amazing! It's the talk of my bio class, really.

[Dtm3791]

deliciously awesome

[spunkransom2]

wicked, awesome

[mightyelroy]

My only critique is that there should be an even number of chromosomes for this to be accurate. In mitosis, a diploid cell divides into two diploid cells. All diploid cells have an even number of chromosomes. This would resemble meiosis 2, but other than that this was amazingly creative.

[Bengeliscious]

Haha.. details, details! I think the swimming pool might have gotten a bit crowded :)

Heck, why not go for a tetraploid or hexaploid division?

[mightyelroy]

I agree. As a high school biology teacher, I could not help but point it out. I did love the creativity. When I saw it the first time, I thought "Why hasn't anyone done this before!" I am definitely using it in my classes.

[Bengeliscious]

Thanks :)

If you'd like a higher resolution version to show to your class, I can send you one- just message me email, server, or mailing info. You can also look for it on the supplemental DVD of the new MBOC book, but I think that version is really grainy.

[superrdg]

You should try doing a square dance for both mitosis and meiosis (perfect for grade 11 biology) ; )

[mightyelroy]

Actually, I have done that.

[rhinsall]

Mightelroy is a nasty mammalcentric bigot. Haploid cells (like Dictyostelium...) need to do mitosis too.

[wkutrent]

@mightyelroy Haploid cells can undergo mitosis as well!!! How do you think a spore gives rise to a gametophyte? As a college genetics teacher I just had to point that out.

[nickligan]

i am so gonna ace bio thanks to this.

[christinarobev]

genius!

good work.

[maryberryyyx3]

haha. my bio teacher showed me this in class today. soo funny x]

[21stChild]

wicked

[SmitesAP]

haha, very creative!

[eis4ellene]

lol

[Kev888]

Fantastic representation of mitosis! 5 stars from me ;)

[randomrach222]

Well done =D lol My sister tried explaining it to me i was like,,,okay...

[54spiritedwill54]

that was good

[smartalec8125]

crazy cool. nice pool.

[momzlilangel85]

Great job guys!

[juasynchroluver24]

u guys need to think before u add stuff like this on utube. ive done synchro for 7 years and this nothing like it. we dont swim to that kind of music, we dont were flowery caps and skirted suits, and swim in circles the whole time and do side dives. type in synchronized swimming and watch a real video of it and then youll understand why its in the olympics!

[momzlilangel85]

i don't think they were trying to impress with the synchronize swimming they were making a visual of how a cell seperates during mitosis

[mmvideos]

lol, seriously, get over yourself and realize this video's more a fun way to show science than waste time making fun of "synchro." You should really think before adding stuff like this to youtube.

[PiratesVersusNinjas]

someone failed biology!!!

[admlivingston]

omfg..... this is genius

[penguin6636]

Hahaha, great job guys

[Maskcapated]

oh man. so i will most definatley think of this during the bio final tomorrow. lolz. noice.

[Emridas06]

somebody doesnt have a life!

[suracs]

... who clearly is not someone who bothers scouring youtube for videos they don't like, then criticizing them :p

[H20Films]

Rofl. Never would've thought to do that.

[co0kii]

amazing shape of a pool. lol, i'll be thinking of you guys in my science exam tomorrow.

[AshMashMash2]

LOVE IT!

[balisane]

Just another reason to truly love science. WTF. XD

[zocotroc]

Hey guys!!! You are amazing. Im a biology teacher and I had never seen before such a clever way of presenting mitosis. Congratulations and keep on that path!

[rabbit092]

You guys are great. I wanna make synchronized swimming videos with you!  Maybe next time you can tackle meiosis

[RadishRabbit]

nerds

[TtheWriter]

Very creative, and biologically correct. Much more interesting to watch than the real thing, hahaha. Props for sticking science into something like swimming, and having it be plausible.

[Bengeliscious]

It's official! Synchronized Swimming Mitosis is on the supplemental DVD of Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition. Chapter 17.5 - check it out! Of course, if anyone still wants a better quality version for their lecture/talk, I can make that happen.

[DarkersPalace]

haha, we watched this in bio. it's great.

[heyyyourecutee]

ahahhh this is amazing

[ctswright]

Great, very creative. We watched it in Bio.

[wpb1964]

you people disgust me, even thought you make me look really good at synchronized swimming.

[ANCLARA2008]

GREAT! I'm going to use for my BIOL class!!

[dirtsadirtsa]

Wow, that was really creative!

[sillytrista]

that was good

[mnellykid]

hahaha, my biology class saw this today when we were watching another video. We convinced our teacher to click on it and we all thought it was great!

[DeltaKilo3]

I'm in bio right now, I just found this and the whole class and teacher saw it. We all cracked up!

[kanyash0]

this is so good!

[losbiobuddies]

OMG! this video is really amazing. We may just have to do this ourselves and add it to the losbiobuddy list. hmmm... where can you find a cytokinetic shaped pool?

[Kejlina]

bwaaaaah hahahaa!

[sirauron911911]

rofl we watched this today in biol in college...our tutor said they wasted their time making it so we shud waste ours by watching it XD

[corndawg22]

no life...

[Skankinitslow]

Really Awesome work. I have a big chapter test tomorow and I will def remember this one! Thanks!

[COLDPLAYBEAR]

Nice work

[kiriika]

That is just so beautiful *sniff*. I wish I had my biology teacher's email, he'd love it.

[jstarkeeper]

nice

[greendayroxmysoxx]

my science teacher should have showed that 2 us

[honbee633]

greendayroxxmysoxx

[biokidz02]

how bout meiosis? cool video...thanks

[thechickendance]

best thing ever!

[scphun]

ha ha ha, love it!

[jcampos116]

My friend Laura from UF told me its meiosis not mitosis because of the tetrads.

[jsmeets]

I didn't think it was possible to combines my two loves: synchro and science. Awesome.

[marymactavish]

I am in love with whoever executed this.

[sawx30]

haha wow this is great

[Masteroftrancegirl]

that was so original!

[popcornkatie3]

Haha I think it's cool.

[SIBIOS]

Wonderfull! what next ?

[1972Dinoman]

Pure 'gene'ius!!
