Flashcards
Mitosis
Mitosis
The process of a cell dividing into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. It involves four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Meiosis
Meiosis
A specialized type of cell division that produces four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is essential for sexual reproduction.
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis
The process by which the cytoplasm of a cell divides to form two daughter cells.
