1
The first stage of cell division where chromosomes become visible and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
2
The phase where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, preparing for separation.
3
The stage in which sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
4
The final phase of cell division where chromosomes de-condense and nuclear envelopes reform around each set.
5
The process that follows mitosis or meiosis, resulting in the division of the cytoplasm and formation of two daughter cells.
6
A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes for sexual reproduction.
7
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, increasing genetic diversity.
8
One half of a duplicated chromosome, which is joined to its sister chromatid by a centromere.
