meiosis

the cell division process of the gamete (sex cell) for reproduction

mitosis

the cell division process used to grow and maintain body cells

first stage of mitosis

division of the nucleus

second stage of mitosis

division of the cytoplasm

overall process of mitosis

equal distribution of DNA to two daughter, or identical, cells' nuclei while the cytoplasm for each nucleus is separate with a new membrane

This occurs at different rates for different types of cells.

cell division

the five phases of mitosis

interphase (resting phase), prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

interphase (resting phase) of mitosis

the phase where the cell's activities are for homeostasis (a balanced environment for survival)

prophase of mitosis

the centrioles move apart to opposite sides of the cell; cytoplasmic microtubules form; the nuclear membrane begins to dissolve

metaphase

the nuclear membrane is totally dissolved; chromatid pairs arrange in a single file formation

anaphase

the two chromatids of each replicated chromosome are now separated; the chromatid pairs separate and are pulled toward the centrioles

telophase

chromosomes migrate to the opposite poles; the chromosomes uncoil and become loosely arranged; the nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear
