asexual reproduction reproduction that does not involve the union of gametes and in which a single parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
meiosis 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
gamete a haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to form a zygote

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