Cell cycle and mitosis A level
Across
- 3. Stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
- 6. Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells.
- 8. One of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome.
- 9. Stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated.
- 10. Structures made of DNA and proteins that contain genetic information.
- 12. Structures in animal cells that help organize the spindle fibers during cell division.
- 13. Membrane that encloses the nucleus, separating it from the cytoplasm.
- 14. Identical copies of a chromosome connected by a centromere.
- 17. Process by which a cell divides its nucleus and contents.
- 18. First stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form.
- 19. Stage of mitosis where nuclear membranes start to form around each set of chromosomes.
Down
- 1. Final stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides, creating two daughter cells.
- 2. Process of copying DNA during the S phase of interphase.
- 4. First phase of interphase where the cell grows and performs normal functions.
- 5. Structures that help separate the chromosomes during mitosis.
- 7. Second phase of interphase where the cell prepares for mitosis.
- 11. Phase of interphase where DNA is replicated.
- 12. Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach.
- 14. Structure that helps separate the chromosomes during mitosis.
- 15. Structure made of DNA and proteins that contains genetic information.
- 16. Stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
