Across
  1. 2. Nuclear membranes enclose the separated chromatids and two diploid cells are produced.
  2. 3. The tetrads attach to spindle fibers at their centromeres and line up at mid-cell.
  3. 6. The DNA begins to condense and each chromosome pair has a centromere.
  4. 7. The nuclear membrane disintegrates and crossing over (recombination) occurs.
  5. 8. The chromosomes split and move to opposite sides of the cell.
Down
  1. 1. The chromatids line up at mid-cell and the centrioles are at the poles.
  2. 4. The cell membrane begins to constrict and the tetrads separate.
  3. 5. Four haploid cells are produced and each cell has half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
