Term
|
Definition
| A type of cell division that leads to the reduction in the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell. At the end of the process, each daughter cell will have half of the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. Genetic cells divide through meiosis. |

Definition
| The cell begins to set the stage for choromosomes to divide. Chromosomes begin to condense, mitotic spindles begin to form, and the nucleolus disappears. |

Definition
| The spindle captured the chromosomes and they are now lined up at the middle of the cell and are ready to divide. |

| The sister chromatids separate from each other. Non-kinetochore microtubules push the poles apart and the kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles. |
