Centromeres

The region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are most tightly connected, playing a vital role in chromosome segregation during cell division.

Mitosis

A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Meiosis I

The first division in meiosis, a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, important for sexual reproduction.
