Across
- 3. bacteria that can reproduce both asexually and sexually
- 5. each DNA strand in the duplicated chromosome
- 8. phase of cell growth, DNA replication, and preparation for mitosis
- 9. bundles of genetic information
- 11. duplicated DNA molecules are attached at this area
- 12. division of the cell nucleus
- 13. phase where sister chromatids suddenly separate and move along spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell
- 14. spindle fibers extend from this region
Down
- 1. genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and becomes visible
- 2. phase where centromeres of duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- 4. division of the cytoplasm
- 6. complex of protein and chromosome
- 7. Most favorable type of reproduction in stable conditions
- 10. phase where chromosomes spread into a tangle of chromatin. a nuclear envelope reforms around each cluster of chromosomes.
