Across
- 2. Phase where nucleus disappears and chromosomes become visible
- 5. Phase where the cell grows and makes a copy of their DNA
- 7. Part of telophase where cells separate
- 8. When an individual make an offspring or baby by itself that is genetically identical
- 9. Process where prokaryotic cells copy their DNA and then divide.
- 10. DNA that has been organized
- 12. Process where eukaryotic cells copy their DNA and then divide. More complicated than binary fission
- 14. Organelle that holds DNA and "controls" the cell
- 16. Fibers that help divide the chromosomes in mitosis
- 17. The process where cells copy their DNA and then divide to make two “daughter cells”
- 18. Bigger, complex cells with a nucleus and organelles. Plant and Animal cells are this type
Down
- 1. When cells from TWO (2) parents or individuals combine to make an offspring or baby
- 3. Phase where chromosomes split up into chromatids and move to opposite sides of the cell
- 4. Two halves of a chromosome. They are twin “sisters” because they have the same DNA
- 6. Organelles that pulls chromosomes apart using spindle fibers
- 11. Phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
- 13. Last phase of mitosis where nucleus reappears and the cell pinches in the middle
- 15. Small cells with no nucleus or organelles. Bacteria cells are this type.
- 17. The smallest, most basic unit of life
