- 6. one of the duplicated strands of DNA,sometimes the two strands are referred to sister
- 8. DNA, genetic information, that is bundled and packaged in the cell in preparation for cell division
- 9. 4 phases where cells divide
- 11. 3rd phase of mitosis, the chromosomes separate and move along spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell
- 13. the splitting of one cell into two, occurs after the phase of mitosis are complete

- 16. the production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent is known as _____
- 17. tiny paired structures where spindles come from to attach to the centromere to
- 18. part of cell cycle where the cell grows, DNA replicates, and the organelles and molecules produced for cell division
Down
- 1. a process of programmed cell death (two ways cells end their life cycle: damage or
- 2. where the duplicated strands of DNA attach
- 3. 1st phase of mitosis, takes the longest, the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the duplicated chromosomes become visible
- 4. the products of mitosis are ____ to the parent cells
- 5. a mass of cells
- 7. 4th and final phase of mitosis, the chromosomes, which were distinct and condensed, begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
- 10. 2nd phase of mitosis, the centromere of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- 12. a mass of body cells that do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells
- 13. process where a cell divides into 2 daughter cells
- 14. ___ furrow where animal cells pinch in to begin splitting
