MITOSIS

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of

chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete
cells.

IV. ANAPHASE V. TELOPHASE V. CYTOKINESIS

Anaphase is the process
that separates the
duplicated genetic material
carried in the nucleus of a
parent cell into two identical
daughter cells.
During telophase, the chromosomes
arrive at the cell poles, the mitotic spindle
disassembles, and the vesicles that
contain fragments of the original nuclear
membrane assemble around the two sets
of chromosomes.
Cytokinesis is the physical process that
finally splits the parent cell into two
identical daughter cells. During
cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in
at the cell equator, forming a cleft called
the cleavage furrow.
