Definitions:

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 II

The second division cycle in meiosis, analogous to mitosis, where sister chromatids are separated into four haploid daughter cells.

Meiosis

A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell.

Crossing Over

The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, leading to variation in the genetic information passed to offspring.
