Flashcards
Meiosis
Meiosis
The process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.
Centromere
Centromere
The specialized region on a chromosome that connects sister chromatids and attaches to the spindle fibers during cell division.
Cell Division Stages
Cell Division Stages
The sequence of events that occur during cell division: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase. Interphase is not typically considered a stage of mitosis, but is the process of cell growth and preparation for division.
Anaphase
