Mitosis and Meiosis
Across
- 4. Made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes
- 7. This is an a short way for saying Deoxyribonucleic Acid
- 8. Process where homologous chromosomes pair up and genetic material is exchanged
- 11. Phase where cytoplasm splits, resulting in two separate cells
- 13. Non-reproductive cells
- 14. Number of cells that result from Mitosis
- 15. Phase in which hromosomes condense and become visible and nuclear membrane begins to break down
- 17. Organelles that move to opposite sides of the cell
Down
- 1. Cell division in somatic (body) cells
- 2. Random distribution of chromosomes during meiosis
- 3. Number of cells that result from meiosis
- 5. Cells that result from cell division
- 6. process where a single cell divides into two or more daughter cells.
- 9. Cell division in germ (reproductive) cells
- 10. Phase where the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (cell equator)
- 12. Phase where nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes
- 16. Phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell
