Across
- 3. A cell that carries two copies of each parents chromosomes
- 5. Phase during meiosis I where the chromosomes begin to unravel
- 6. Haploid cells that carry only one copy of each chromosome
- 8. Cell cycle where cell division occurs and two new daughter cells are created
- 9. Each cell normally contains 23 of these
- 12. Pairing of two chromosomes during meiosis
- 13. Process in which male gametes are created and developed
- 15. Phase during meiosis II where the centrosomes move to the poles of the cell
- 16. Phase of mitosis where paired chromosomes are pulled apart by spindle fibers
- 19. Leading cause of the variation of genes in children from the same parents
- 20. Structures that are the same but develop over time due to evolution
Down
- 1. Resulting diploid cell from the fission of two haploid cells
- 2. Process of cell growth that creates two identical cells
- 4. The union of a female gamete and male gamete
- 7. Comprised of three sub-stages: G1, S, and G2
- 10. Process in which female gametes are created and developed
- 11. Cell cycle where gametes are produced
- 14. Phase of mitosis where paired chromosomes are pulled apart by spindle fibers
- 17. A cell that carries a single set of chromosomes
- 18. Typical for chromosome cross over to occur during this phase of meiosis I
