The process of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.

The stage of mitosis when duplicated chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.

The stage of mitosis when sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

The stage of mitosis when the nuclear membrane reforms, chromosomes uncoil, and the cell divides.

The process of cell division in eukaryotes that results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

The stage of meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material.

The stage of meiosis when homologous chromosome pairs line up at the middle of the cell.

The stage of meiosis when homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

The stage of meiosis when the nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes, and the cell divides.

The stage of meiosis II when sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

The process of converting a spermatocyte into four spermatids.

The process that prevents additional sperm from entering the egg during fertilization.

The stage of meiosis when the spindle fibers develop at a right angle to the spindle fibers of the first meiotic division, preparing for the separation of sister chromatids.

The stage of meiosis when the chromosomes reach opposite poles, the nuclear envelope reforms, and the nucleolus reappears.

The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis.

The first part of interphase when the cell grows to its full size and duplicates its organelles.

The stage of interphase when the cell makes a copy of its DNA.

The second part of interphase when the cell prepares to divide and synthesizes proteins and organelles.

The structure that holds together two sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The process of cell division that results in the formation of new cell walls and plasma membranes, dividing the cell into two daughter cells.

The protein structure that plays a crucial role in holding homologous chromosomes aligned during prophase I of meiosis.

The process of cell division that results in the cytoplasm dividing, forming two new daughter cells.

The stage of mitosis when the chromosomes line up at the center of the cell, forming a metaphase plate.

The process that occurs during diplotene stage of meiosis where homologous chromosomes begin to separate, but remain linked at chiasmata, the points where crossing over occurred.

The stage of meiosis when the cell divides into two daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

The stage of meiosis when the cell divides again, resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
