Across
  1. 3. the new cell that is formed from cell division.
  2. 4. the third phase in mitosis when the duplicated chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of a cell.
  3. 7. the first stage of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its life.
  4. 10. the first phase in mitosis where chromosomes condense and spindle fibers begin to form.
  5. 11. the initial phase in Interphase where the cell grows in size.
  6. 13. the structure formed in the middle of a dividing plant cell during cytokinesis acting as a partition that eventually becomes the new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.
  7. 14. thelast phase in mitosis when two nuclei are formed.
  8. 15. a thread-like structure inside the cell nucleus composed of DNA that carries genetic information.
  9. 16. the second stage of the cell cycle where the parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
Down
  1. 1. the extra phase in mitosis between prophase and metaphase where the duplicated genetic material is separated into 2 identical daughter cells.
  2. 2. the indentation in the surface of a cell that forms during cytokinesis, the final stage of cell division.
  3. 5. the second phase in mitosis when the chromosomes line up in the center of the dividing cell.
  4. 6. the final phase in Interphase where the cell synthesizes protein and prepares for mitosis.
  5. 8. the process of copying a cell's DNA to create 2 identical copies before the cell divides.
  6. 9. the second phase in Interphase when DNA is replicated.
  7. 12. the last stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides in half.
  8. 13. the process the cell goes through to divide and create new cells.
