The human body is made up of billions of cells. These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell ...

In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division in which two rounds of chromosome segregation follow a single round of DNA replication. In diploid organisms, meiosis generates gametes with a haploid ...

Meiosis, the process by which haploid products are created from diploid precursors, is central to sexual reproduction. Meiosis can be thought of as a modified mitotic division with notable ...

The chromosomes align along the metaphase plate. As in mitosis metaphase, (and unlike meiosis metaphase I), fibers from the centrioles begin to pull on each one of the chromosomes from both directions ...

Multicellular eukaryotes and single-celled sex cells reproduce by a process called meiosis. In this process, the number of chromosomes in a mother cell is halved to produce gametes, cells that fuse ...

The activity on this page has been designed by educational experts to help you to understand the three stages of mitosis. Interact with the activity to see the mitosis phases and descriptions. Mitosis ...

The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes. The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. As in mitosis prometaphase, fibers from both ends of the cells attach to each one of the four ...
