Meiosis: A mechanism of sexual reproduction that combines and enriches genetic information from parents to offspring, creating genetic diversity that helps the species adapt to environmental changes.
Chromosome structure: Each chromosome consists of two identical chromatin filaments called sister chromatids, joined by a centromere. Both chromatids contain duplicated genetic information. The centromere divides each chromatid into two regions called arms.
