5 Terms

1

Mitosis

A type of cell division resulting in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, crucial for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.

New cards
2

Stages of Mitosis

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis, each with specific events leading to the division of a cell.

New cards
3

Meiosis

A cell division process in sexual reproduction producing gametes with genetic diversity, involving Meiosis I (Reduction Division) and Meiosis II (Equational Division).

New cards
4

Genetic Variation

Enhanced by processes like Crossing Over, Independent Assortment, and Random Fertilization during meiosis, leading to diverse genetic combinations.

New cards
5

Importance of Meiosis

Ensures the production of haploid gametes, promotes genetic diversity, and holds evolutionary significance in driving genetic variation.
