Across
  1. 3. chromosomes line up along center of cell
  2. 5. bodies three inert bodies formed in addition to the egg during meiosis
  3. 6. chromosomes unravel, nuclear membranes form around the two new nuclei
  4. 8. asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells resulting in two identical cells derived from a single cell.
  5. 9. compact bodies formed when loose DNA is tightly wound around protein spheres called histones. Form before cell division.
  6. 10. the cell divides into two daughter cells
  7. 13. sexual reproduction cells such as egg and sperm
  8. 14. rod-shaped structure that is one half of a chromosome
  9. 15. go to either pole of a cell during division and act as anchors for the spindle fibers
Down
  1. 1. chromosome splits at the centromere and the halves are pulled toward the poles of the cell
  2. 2. cell two identical cells made when the parent cell divides
  3. 4. cells of the body that reproduce asexually
  4. 7. first stage of cell division. Chromosomes form and spindle fibers attach to centrioles
  5. 9. body that joins the two halves of a chromosome
  6. 11. sexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells involving egg and sperm
  7. 12. cell the original cell that will divide
