Across
- 2. n organelle found in large numbers in most cells
- 5. phase of the cell cycle
- 8. first stage of cell division
- 11. the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells
- 12. the final phase of cell division
- 13. (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 14. where a single cell divided into two identical cells
- 15. a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's chromosomes
Down
- 1. the fourth phase of mitosis
- 2. the cell cycle where all the genetic material is condensing into chromosomes
- 3. one of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome.
- 4. a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
- 6. the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria (i.e., eukaryotes) are composed. It consists of protein,
- 7. Fiber a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
- 9. a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
- 10. thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells
- 11. makes up all living organisms
- 16. Membrane plasma membrane is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable.
