Term
|
Definition
| is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only, it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization. |

Term
|
Definition
| A nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the cell and is capable of self-replication and synthesis of RNA. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the combination of DNA, histone, and other proteins that make up chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a region of DNA typically found near the middle of a chromosome where two identical sister chromatids come closest in contact |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell spends the majority of its time and performs the majority of its purposes including preparation for cell division |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The first stage of mitosis, during which the chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the spindle apparatus forms at opposite poles of the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The stage of mitosis and meiosis, following prophase and preceding anaphase, during which the chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the stage of mitosis when chromosomes separate in an eukaryotic cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase events are reversed. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A partition formed during cell division in plants and some algae that separates the two newly formed daughter cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the subdivision of a body, population, or species into parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate individuals. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism grows on each other. The new organism remains attached as it grows, separating from the parent organism only when it is mature. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A mode of reproduction resembling multiple fission, common among Protozoa, in which the organism breaks up into a number of pieces, or spores, each of which eventually develops into an organism like the parent form |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth that makes genomes, cells, organs, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans |
