Okay I gotta send these ladies flowers or something, they just took a 80 page slide and compressed it into an 8 minute easy to understand video... I would die for these women.

[jankipatel]

i love how they know mostly highschooler and college students are gonna watch this but still make it look fun I LOVE

The stages of learning a scientific process
1. I’m so excited to learn something new
2. This is so complicated
3. Why are we even learning this???
4. I’m going to at least try to understand so that i don’t fail my test
5. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. LIFE IS AMAZING. SCIENCE IS SO IMPORTANT.

Rinse and repeat for every new biology subject

[loafie_bread]

Honestly we learn more from these videos than sitting at a lecture in class, don't argue with me on this

[kendyl.s]

wow, Amoeba Sisters really out here doing the most for our grades.

[ItsMe-issk]

12 years of normal class, for the first time, Meiosis and Mitosis became clear to me! Huge respect!

[victorwainaina]

That feel when 6years of mislearned information just gets cleared up with a 7min video. I can't thank you enough. Thanks for this!

[swetakumar]

Seriosly my whole term:I don’t understand anything


8 mins: I understand everything

[ykalondra]

Meiosis I
prometaphass: crossing over
Metaphase: pairs line up in middle
Anaphase: pulled away
Telophase: new nuclei forms

Meisois II:
Prophase: …
Metaphase: line up at middle single line
Anaphase: chromatids pulled away
Telophase: new nuclei forms

"Mom says I can't do meiosis until i finish my interphase" was extra funny at 12am when I haven't slept in days adding on the stress of failing my exam tomorrow

[thesid]

ur channel is probably the only reason I pass my biology classes. thank you so much for making this videos and keep up the good work. 💙💙

[jaimechua]

It took you 7 minutes to teach me what my teacher was trying to say for 2 days thank you

[rawrchicca]

As a future biology teacher trying to figure out the best way to explain meiosis to my students, this video has been immensely helpful! This is by far the best explanation of meiosis I have seen and I hope I will be able to explain it this clearly. Thank you!

[GlingusHaunts]

Really appreciate this video! It's currently 2AM on the day of finals and I'm trying my hardest to get a good grade, thank goodness for the Amoeba Sisters.

[ray]

whole textbook worth of information in less than 10 mins

[kenanyildizfan]

Tysm i litterally passed my biology test because of the mitosis and mieosis videos u made at first i didnt understand anything about this lesson but then when i watched ur videos i took a full grade in it in ik some people might not believe it but it at least helped me understand the lesson and made it more easier to study it

[amyhepburn]

I've been through biology GCSE, A level and a degree with a significant biology component and it is only now, through watching your video, that I understand why chromosomes and chromatids are counted equally (based on no. of centromeres)! Thank you so much for making it all click into place! Absolute life saver <3

[tammyb]

who came here because your studying last minute !!

[Johno]

This and the mitosis video have become an all-time classic among students. I remember first watching this video and discovering this channel in 10th grade, I watched it again in 11th grade before my exit exams and watched it again in 12th and 13th grade as a recap. Now I'm in med school, I'm here again for a quick refresher once again.

When you have a science quiz on meiosis tomorrow.
