Draw and label the mitotic phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase & telophase) and meiotic phases (prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, & telophase II) for 2N=6. Be sure to indicate the chromosomal complement at each stage and whether the chromosomes are duplicated (consisting of sister chromatids) or not. For the meiotic phases, please add the following labels to your diagrams: In prophase I: tetrad In metaphase I: nonsister chromatids In anaphase I: homologous chromosomes, kinetochore microtubule In telophase I: sister chromatids In prophase II: centrioles In metaphase II: centromere In anaphase II: nonkinetochore microtubule, astral rays In telophase II: cleavage furrow

The process in which a cell divides itself to form daughter cells is known as cell division. Cell division is of two types, namely,
- Mitosis
- Meiosis
The mitosis is known as equational division as it involves the division of parent cells leading to the formation of two daughter cells each having several chromosomes as their parental cell. These types of division occur in place of injuries where tissue heals itself by increasing the number of cells.
Meiosis is known as reductional division because it involves the formation of four daughter cells each having half the number of chromosomes as their parental cell. This type of cell division occurs in reproductive cells called "gametes" where each cell has half the number of chromosomes required so that it can fuse with the gametes from other parents leading to the formation of a diploid zygote.
