| 6065532374 | Chromatids | The two copies of the chromosome once it is duplicated |  | 4 |
| 6065541590 | Centromere | Where the chromatids are connected |  | 5 |
| 6065553527 | Mitosis | The process of separating duplicated chromosomes in order to create a new cell. |  | 6 |
| 6065560800 | Cytokinesis | The process where the cytoplasm splits in two |  | 7 |
| 6065568263 | Budding | A type of asexual reproduction, where a piece of the parents body develops into an independent organism |  | 8 |
| 6065574409 | Regeneration | A type of asexual reproduction, where the organism breaks into two or more parts, each growing into a new organism that is genetically identical to the parent |  | 9 |
| 6065581799 | Sexual Reproduction | The production of offspring by combining the genetic material of more than one parent |  | 10 |
| 6065586212 | Asexual Reproduction | A single parent has offspring that are identical to itself |  | 11 |

| 6065602183 | Zygote | The new type of cell that is made when an egg's nucleus fuses with a sperm's nucleus |  | 14 |
| 6065606682 | Spores | Small reproductive cells that are protected by a thick cell wall | 15 | |
| 6065612827 | Sex Cells | Specialized cells that combine to form a zygote, they have half the normal number of chromosomes, one of each pair. | 16 | |
| 6065620503 | Meiosis | A process where the chromosomes are copied and separated in such a way that each daughter cell has half the normal number of chromosomes. Creates sex cells. |  | 17 |
