reproduction that does not involve the union of gametes and in which a single parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent asexual reproduction
a process in cell division during which the number of chromosomes decreases to half the original number by two divisions of the nucleus, which results in the production of sex cells (gametes or spores) meiosis
a haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to form a zygote gamete

the division of the cytoplasma of a cell; it follows the division of the cell's nucleus by mitosis or meiosis cytokinesis
the first stage of mitosis and meiosis in cell division; characterized by the condensation of the chromosomes and the dissolution of the nuclear envelope prophase
one of the microtubules that extend across a dividing eukaryotic cell; assists in the movement of chromosomes spindle fiber
one of the stages of mitosis and meiosis, during which all of the chromosomes move to the cell's equator metaphase
