  1. 4. mitosis and meiosis are both examples of this kind of reproduction
  2. 7. a cell that contains two sets of homologous chromosomes
  3. 8. the division of cytoplasm to form two new daughter cells
  4. 12. phase in which chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
  5. 15. the number of divisions that take place during meiosis
  6. 16. the DNA of daughter cells is identical to that of parent cells
  7. 17. a cell that contains only a single set of genes
  8. 18. this process during meiosis creates genetic variation

Down
  1. 1. results in four haploid cells
  2. 2. the number of daughter cells formed during meiosis
  3. 3. genetic material inside the nucleus condenses; chromosomes become visible
