mitosis

3. Reproduction involving mitosis that produces genetically identical offspring.
5. A structure that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells and develops into a new cell wall.
6. Protein fibres that attach to chromosomes and move them during mitosis.
7. A type of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells.
9. The stage of mitosis in which chromosomes align at the equator of the cell.
13. The stage of mitosis in which chromosomes condense and become visible.
14. The stage of mitosis in which nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromosomes.
16. One of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome.
18. The stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles.
19. A structure made of DNA and protein that carries genetic information.
20. The sequence of stages a cell passes through from one division to the next.

1. The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
2. Cells produced at the end of mitosis that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
4. Replacement of damaged or dead cells by mitosis.
