The video tutorial explains how a fertilized egg develops into a full human through cell division, focusing on mitosis and meiosis. It covers the cell cycle phases, including G1, S, G2, and mitosis, and highlights the differences between mitosis and meiosis. The tutorial also discusses the G0 phase, where cells are metabolically active but not dividing.
