In biology or life science, meiosis is a process of reductional division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is halved. In animals, meiosis always results in the formation of gametes, while in other organisms it can give rise to spores....

The cell is the structural and functional unit of all known Life organisms. It is the smallest unit of an organism that is classified as living, and is often called the building bricks of life....

Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next....

In cell biology, the cleavage furrow is the indentation that begins the process of cytokinesis, by which animal and some algae cell s undergo cytokinesis....

Metaphase, from the ancient Greek ?et? and f?s?? , is a stage of mitosis in the Eukaryote cell cycle in which condensed chromosomes, carrying DNA sequence, align in the middle of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells....

Cell wall

A cell wall is a tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cell . It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism....
