Across 1. an exact copy of the parent cell, only smaller 3. chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell and attach to the spindles 5. basic unit of all living things 6. surrounds the nucleus to hold the genetic material of the cell; appears and disappears during mitosis phases 7. forms between two daughter cells at the end of telophase in plant cell mitosis 9. guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis 11. reproduction of the cytoplasm 12. spindle fibers disappear and the nuclear membrane reappears to form two new daughter cells 13. cell division in which daughter cells are formed that are exact copies of the parent cell 14. functioning part of the cell 15. organelle that organizes the cell for reproduction 16. fully developed cell ready to undergo mitosis cell division 17. organelle that contains the genetic material in the cell and controls the cell activities

Down 2. paired chromatin that are like copies of DNA 4. chromosomes separate and migrate to opposite sides of the cell towards the centrioles 5. process by which a cell divides and forms two new cells 7. attaches the chromatin into homologous pairs and attaches the chromosomes to the spindles 8. first stage of mitosis where the chromosomes become shortened and doubled 10. longest part of cell cycle which is a period between cell division in which all cell processes occur with the exception of reproduction 11. threadlike structure in the nucleus that is made up of DNA and protein
