What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes.

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The S phase is crucial for DNA replication, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

What occurs during metaphase of mitosis?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
