Across
  1. 4. mitosis and meiosis are both examples of this kind of reproduction
  2. 7. a cell that contains two sets of homologous chromosomes
  3. 8. the division of cytoplasm to form two new daughter cells
  4. 12. phase in which chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
  5. 15. the number of divisions that take place during meiosis
  6. 16. the DNA of daughter cells is identical to that of parent cells
  7. 17. a cell that contains only a single set of genes
  8. 18. this process during meiosis creates genetic variation
  9. 19. the phase in which chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
  10. 20. male gametes
  11. 21. the phase in which DNA replication takes place
Down
  1. 1. results in four haploid cells
  2. 2. the number of daughter cells formed during meiosis
  3. 3. genetic material inside the nucleus condenses; chromosomes become visible
  4. 5. chromosomes spread out and nuclear envelope is reconstructed
  5. 6. the longest period of the cell cycle
  6. 9. the structure that separates sister chromatids during anaphase
  7. 10. threadlike structure that contains DNA
  8. 11. types of chromosomes in which one set comes from the male parent and one set comes from the female parent
  9. 13. female gametes
  10. 14. the term for reproductive cells produced through meiosis
