Across
- 4. first phase of mitosis.
- 11. cell or nucleus having a single set of unpaired chromosomes.
- 12. the region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach, via the kinetochore, during cell division.
- 15. 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.
- 17. Double helix looking
- 19. the second stage of cell division
- 20. an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that is functioning like a brain.
- 21. phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life.
- 22. haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism
- 23. structural layer surrounding some types of cells
- 27. the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.
- 28. sequence of DNA or RNA which codes for a molecule that has a function.
- 29. a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
Down
- 1. a mature haploid male or female germ cell.

- 26. complex molecular machine, found within all living cells
