D2.1
Across
- 3. The longest phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA replicates.
- 4. The process of DNA condensing into tight chromosomes during prophase.
- 6. Nuclear division that produces two genetically identical daughter nuclei.
- 8. A cell containing two full sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).
- 9. The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
- 11. A reduction division of a diploid nucleus to form four haploid nuclei.
- 12. The stage where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
- 13. The stage where chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.
- 14. The failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis.
- 16. Chromosomes with the same sequence of genes but potentially different alleles.
- 17. The independent alignment of homologous pairs at the equator in Metaphase I.
- 18. The final stage where two new nuclear membranes form around chromosomes.
Down
- 1. The stage where sister chromatids or homologous pairs are pulled apart.
- 2. A cell containing only one set of chromosomes (e.g., gametes).
- 5. The region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are joined.
- 7. Microtubules that attach to centromeres and move chromosomes.
- 9. One of the two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome.
- 10. A pair of homologous chromosomes held together during Meiosis I.
- 15. The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids in Prophase I.
