  1. 4. Replication – The process of copying DNA before cell division.
  2. 5. – One half of a duplicated chromosome.
  3. 6. – Some organisms use cell division to make offspring.
  4. 7. – Condensed DNA that becomes visible during mitosis.
  5. 9. – The process of dividing the nucleus into two identical nuclei.
  6. 10. – The jelly-like material that splits during cytokinesis.
  7. 11. – One reason cells divide; they get bigger and need more cells.
  8. 12. – The cell structure that contains DNA.
  9. 13. – The stage where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
  10. 15. – Fibers that help pull chromosomes apart.
  11. 17. – The stage where the cell grows and copies its DNA.
  12. 19. – Fixing damaged or worn-out cells by making new ones.
  13. 20. – The structure that forms in plant cells during cytokinesis.
  14. 21. – The stage where sister chromatids separate and move apart.
  15. 22. – Describes the daughter cells compared to the original cell.
  16. 23. – The stage where two new nuclei begin to form.
Down
  1. 1. Membrane – The structure that surrounds and protects the nucleus.
  2. 2. – The two identical new cells formed after division.
  3. 3. – The division of the cytoplasm, forming two new cells.
  4. 5. – The full series of events a cell goes through before dividing.
  5. 7. – DNA in its loose, uncoiled form.
  6. 8. – What DNA must do before mitosis so each new cell gets a copy.
  7. 14. – When sister chromatids move apart during anaphase.
  8. 16. – The stage where chromosomes appear and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
  9. 18. – Structures inside a cell that perform specific jobs.
