Across
- 3. DNA and histone proteins
- 6. the centriole creates these "strings" that help move the chromosomes during mitosis
- 8. two nuclei are formed
- 12. when DNA is synthesized
- 14. reproduction that requires two parents and creates unique organisms
- 15. the "center" of a chromosome and the region where 2 sister chromatids are held together
- 18. the chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell during this phase
- 19. if a cell has 7 chromosomes and then completed mitosis and cytokinesis, how many chromosomes does each daughter cell have?
- 20. sister chromatids are ripped apart
