Across
- 3. chromosomes line up along center of cell
- 5. bodies three inert bodies formed in addition to the egg during meiosis
- 6. chromosomes unravel, nuclear membranes form around the two new nuclei
- 8. asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells resulting in two identical cells derived from a single cell.
- 9. compact bodies formed when loose DNA is tightly wound around protein spheres called histones. Form before cell division.
- 10. the cell divides into two daughter cells
- 13. sexual reproduction cells such as egg and sperm
- 14. rod-shaped structure that is one half of a chromosome
- 15. go to either pole of a cell during division and act as anchors for the spindle fibers
Down
- 1. chromosome splits at the centromere and the halves are pulled toward the poles of the cell
- 2. cell two identical cells made when the parent cell divides
- 4. cells of the body that reproduce asexually
- 7. first stage of cell division. Chromosomes form and spindle fibers attach to centrioles
- 9. body that joins the two halves of a chromosome
- 11. sexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells involving egg and sperm
- 12. cell the original cell that will divide
