Across 4. an exact copy of the parent cell, only smaller 5. forms between two daughter cells at the end of telophase in plant cell mitosis 7. organelle that contains the genetic material in the cell and controls the cell activities 9. basic unit of all living things 10. spindle fibers disappear and the nuclear membrane reappears to form two new daughter cells 12. paired chromatin that are like copies of DNA 13. reproduction of the cytoplasm 14. first stage of mitosis where the chromosomes become shortened and doubled 16. attaches the chromatin into homologous pairs and attaches the chromosomes to the spindles 17. functioning part of the cell 18. longest part of cell cycle which is a period between cell division in which all cell processes occur with the exception of reproduction

Down 1. fully developed cell ready to undergo mitosis cell division 2. process by which a cell divides and forms two new cells 3. chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell and attach to the spindles 6. surrounds the nucleus to hold the genetic material of the cell; appears and disappears during mitosis phases 8. cell division in which daughter cells are formed that are exact copies of the parent cell 9. threadlike structure in the nucleus that is made up of DNA and protein 11. guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis 13. organelle that organizes the cell for reproduction 15. chromosomes separate and migrate to opposite sides of the cell towards the centrioles

The look has changed! Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
