| What happens during Prophase ? | DNA Replicates |
| What happens during Metaphase ? | the chromosomes line up |
| What happens during Anaphase ? | Chromatids start to split |
| What happens during Telophase ? | the cell membranes pinches inwards |
| Asexual Reproduction | reproduction without the fusion of gametes |

| Meiosis | is the process of making sex cells |
| Crossing Over | is the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes |
| Fertilization | is the joining of gametes from two sources |
