Description:
The site is a companion to a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) NOVA program that uses microimagery "to track human development from embryo to newborn." The site features the full program (which describes DNA and fetal development from conception through birth), a pregnant mother's journal, and information about prenatal testing, stem cell technology, cell division (meiosis and mitosis), and how sex is determined. Also includes links to resources and a teacher's guide.
