5639292507 | Zygote | The diploid product of the union of haploid gametes during fertilization; a fertilized egg | 30 | |
5639292508 | Meiosis | A modified type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms consisting of two rounds of cell division but only one round of DNA replication. It results in cells w/ half the number of chromosome sets as the original cell | 31 | |
5639292513 | Meiosis I | The first division of a two-stage process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that results in cells with 1/2 the number of chromosome sets as the original cell | 32 | |
5639292514 | Meiosis II | The second division of a two-stage process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that results in cells w/ half the number of chromosome sets as the original cell | 33 | |
5639292515 | Prophase I | Chromosomes condense, crossing over, Synapsis, centrosome, movement, chiasmata, micro tubules attach to centromeres | 34 | |
