Cell Reproduction and Division Review Puzzle
Across
- 1. This is one half of a chromosome.
- 2. This part is at the center of the nucleus and acts like a copy machine for the nucleus.
- 9. The border around the cell that keeps certain things out and lets others in.
- 11. The space inside the nucleolus where they chromosomes are found.
- 13. The first phase of mitosis in which the nuclear membrane disappears, the centrioles move toward the ends of the cell and the spindle fibers begin to form.
- 14. A type of cell division in which 4 new daughter cells are made with 23 total chromosomes.
- 15. The length of time is takes for cell reproduction to take place.
- 17. The control center of the cell.
- 20. The first stage of cell reproduction in which the cell gets ready to divide by growing larger and copying chromosomes.
- 21. The second stage of cell reproduction in which the cell divides itself produces two daughter cells with 23 pairs of chromosomes; there are 4 phase.
- 22. The number of pairs of chromosomes in most of the cells in our body.
- 23. Long strands that reach across the cell during mitosis that help pull apart the chromosomes.
- 24. The third stage of cell reproduction in which the Cytoplasm divides separating the cells into two completely separate cells, called DAUGHTER CELLS.
Down
- 1. The process in which our cells increase in number in our body, there are 3 stages.
- 3. The border around the nucleus.
- 4. The two reasons we grow and increase in height and weight.
- 5. The name for the new cells formed during cell reproduction.
- 6. A cell with only 23 total chromosomes
- 7. The second phase of mitosis in which the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres, and the chromosomes line up in the middle.
- 8. These contain all the genetic information in the cell.
- 9. This part holds the chromatids together in a chromosome and also attached to spindle fibers during mitosis.
- 10. The Third phase of mitosis when the chromosomes start to split apart to opposite ends of the cell.
- 12. The Fourth and final phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes and spindle fibers are harder to see and two new nuclei form around each group of chromosomes.
- 16. The cells in which meiosis takes place in.
- 18. The type of cells that mitosis takes place in.
- 19. A cell with 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 total.
- 24. These parts Will move to the ends of the cell and pull the cell apart during Mitosis.
