Across
- 2. a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.
- 3. the stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.
- 5. a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
- 7. the first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears.
- 8. the final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase
Down
- 1. a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage
- 4. the portion of the cell cycle that is not accompanied by observable changes under the microscope, and includes the G1, S and G2 phases.
- 6. the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
