Across
  1. 3. Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division
  2. 4. Think "Ha...Half"; This is a cell that has half the number of chromosomes (All gametes are haploid)
  3. 6. A type of cell division where 1 cell divides twice to create 4 genetically different haploid cells, The cells that are made are the gametes (reproductive cells).
  4. 7. A zygote is a fertilized egg (diploid cell)
  5. 8. Body cells, Any cells in the body other than reproductive cells
  6. 15. paired chromosomes that have the same genes
  7. 16. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell (sperm cells and egg cells)
Down
  1. 1. Chromosomes become visable, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms
  2. 2. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division
  3. 5. means 2; this is a cell that has paired chromosomes (All body cells are diploid)
  4. 9. the final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed. THINK=T for TWO
  5. 10. DNA with the genes of an organism that is found in the nucleus of a cell
  6. 11. the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
  7. 12. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell-THINK META=MIDDLE
  8. 13. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell-THINK: ANA=AWAY or ANA OPPOSITE
  9. 14. A type of cell division where 1 cell divides into 2 genetically identical cells. Used for growth of an organism or to replace damaged cells.
