Across
  1. 4. To make more of something.
  2. 5. Chromosomes are made of two identical chromatids, so that each DNA copy can be transfered to the daughter cells when the time comes.
  3. 8. The series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.
  4. 11. The third phase of mitosis where DNA chromatids are pulled apart to far ends of the cell and the cell begins to stretch out.
  5. 13. The final stage product of the cell cycle where two new cells are the end result.
  6. 14. The fourth phase of mitosis where the chromatids are separated on the far ends of the cell and the nuclear membrane begins to reform around the two groupings of chromatids.
  7. 15. A series of connected events that happen in a specific order.
  8. 16. The second stage of the cell cycle, during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell. .
  9. 17. The development of a rigid wall that separates the daughter cells in plant cells. Ultimately the cell plate will turn into a new cell wall for the daughter cells.
  10. 19. To split something into equal parts.
Down
  1. 1. The first phase of mitosis where DNA condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane falls apart.
  2. 2. The second phase of mitosis where the DNA chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell.
  3. 3. The first stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs, during which a cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA.
  4. 6. A series of small cylindrical tubes which serve as anchor points to move the seperating chromatids around the cell during mitosis.
  5. 7. The process by which a cell makes a copy of DNA in its nucleus before cell division.
  6. 9. The final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell’s cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the two new daughter cells.
  7. 10. The compact bundling of DNA that helps cells get ready for mitosis.
  8. 12. Filament's that connect the DNA chromatids to the centrioles during cell division.
  9. 18. The genetic instruction material that tells cells how to work and what to do.
