Down
- 1. chromosomes split up and chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
- 2. the period in the cell during which the cell grows, matures, and duplicates the genetic information
- 3. simple cells that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
- 8. chromosomes line up along the center plane
- 9. a cylindrical organelle in animal cells that form spindle fibers
- 11. an organelle specific to plant cells
- 12. one of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome
- 13. DNA strands in the nucleus during interphase
