Across 4. location of DNA when a eukaryotic cell is not undergoing division 6. division of the cytoplasm 8. imaginary plate perpendicular and passes through the circle 9. chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed 11. centromeres of chromosomes are aligned on single plane at the center of the cell 14. newly formed plasma membrane that expands outward until it reaches the old plasma membrane and fuses with its membrane 16. half the diploid number 17. first step of mitosis; step where chromatin has condensed and chromosomes are visible

Down 1. barrel shaped organelles 2. separates duplicated genetic material of parent cell into the daughter cells 3. involved in organizing chromosomes 5. protein complexes that develop on either side of the centromere during cell division 6. region where sister chromatids are constricted and attached together 7. an indention of the membrane between the two daughter nuclei 10. full chromosome number found in cells 12. chromosomes move away from each other to opposite poles of the spindle 13. main microtubule- organizing center of cell 15. brace the centrioles during the later stages of cell division
