Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Karyokinesis: The process of nuclear division during cell division, which can occur as mitosis or meiosis. (Source: Exercise 7)
  • Mitosis: A type of karyokinesis that results in two genetically identical nuclei, facilitating growth, development, and tissue repair. (Source: Exercise 7)
  • Meiosis: A form of reductive division that halves the chromosome number in gametes, producing haploid cells necessary for sexual reproduction. (Source: Exercise 7)
  • Haploid cells: Cells containing only one set of chromosomes (n), produced by meiosis, essential for forming diploid zygotes upon fertilization. (Source: Exercise 7)
  • Diploid: Cells with two complete sets of chromosomes (2n), typical of somatic cells, resulting from fertilization of haploid gametes. (Source: Exercise 7)
