Cellular division which leads to the formation of gametes
Meiosis
A phase to prepare the cell for division and the genetic material is doubled
Interphase
It is arrangement of homologous pairs of chromosomes where each pair consists of 4 chromatids
Tetrad
A process in which some parts of the two inner chromatids of each tetrad are exchanged
Crossing over
The cell resulting from meiotic division and have half number of chromosomes (N)
Reproductive cells
The point of connection of two chromatids
Centromere
The part of the cell which is responsible for cell division
The nucleus
A phase in which the chromosomes migrate towards the cell equator
Metaphase
A phase of mitotic division in which the nucleus disappears
Prophase
The part which is responsible for pulling the chromosomes towards the two poles of the cell during anaphase of cell division
Spindle fibers
Thread like bodies represent the genetic material of living organisms
Chromosomes
