Mitosis Review Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• poles: the ends of the cells where the centrioles go
• centrioles: structures that attach the spindle fibers to the chromosomes and help the cell to divide
• parent cell: the original, larger cell before mitosis occurs
• cytokinesis: when the cytoplasm divides
• spindle fibers: protein fibers that pull the chromosomes apart
• inter phase: the resting phase when the cell prepares for mitosis and dna replicates
• prophase: the phase of mitosis when the chromatin coils into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane breaks down
• nuclear membrane: the structure that contains dna and breaks down during prophaseanaphase: the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes split
• daughter cell: the smaller cells produced at the end of mitosis
• cellcycle: the life cycle of the cell
• nucleus: the brain of the cell that contains the dna
• mitosis: the process in which the nucleus divides
• telophase: the phase of mitosis when two nuclei form and the cell prepares for cytokenisis
• identicle: how would you compare two cells that go through mitosis
• dna: the genetic information of the cell
• chromatids: separated chromosomes
• equator: the center of the cell where the chromosomes line up during metaphase
• cytoplasm: the jelly-like substance that holds the organelles in place
• chromosomes: double stranded structure of dna
• four: the number of phases in mitosis (spell the number out)
