Across
  1. 3. An organelle near the nucleus of a cell which contains the centrioles (in animal cells) and from which the spindle fibers develop in cell division.
  2. 7. Two sister chromatids join together to form 1 chromosome.
  3. 9. (2n) When the egg and sperm unite during fertilization.
  4. 11. Double Stranded Chromosomes become visible and the nuclear membrane disappears.
  5. 13. Egg and Sperm
  6. 16. life process in which living things produce other living things of the same species.Interphase: Increased cell size and DNA replication
  7. 17. Chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
  8. 19. Separation into 2 identical daughter cells
  9. 20. Cycle: series of stages where cells change as they grow and divide to create 2 new cells.
Down
  1. 1. Condensed Chromatin (DNA and Proteins) are shaped like an X.
  2. 2. (n): ½ the number of chromosomes
  3. 4. Process by which 1 diploid (2n) splits over 2 stages to become 4 Gamete/ Daughter Cells.
  4. 5. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and line up at the equator.
  5. 6. Nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes forming 2 nuclei.
  6. 8. cells: Produce gametes and are the only cells that can undergo meiosis as well as mitosis. C
  7. 10. Cells: 2 new cells as a result of cell division.
  8. 12. Division: Complex series of changes in the nucleus of a cell that leads to the production of 2 new cells.
  9. 14. (2n): When egg and sperm combine
  10. 15. Complex series of changes in the Nuclei of body cells that produce identical Daughter cells.
  11. 18. Fibers: Green Strings within Anaphase/ pulling towards opposite poles of the cell.
