These structures consist of DNA. Across: 4) The third stage of cell division, beginning when the centromeres divide and sister chromatids separate from each other5) The first stage of cell division, during which duplicated chromosomes condense and the spindle forms and begins moving the chromosomes toward the center of the cell8) A sex cell; a haploid egg or sperm9) A particular site on a chromosome that is responsible for one trait10) A cell containing a single set of chromosomes (n)12) The division of a single nucleus into two genetically identical daughter nuclei. 13) The union of the nucleus of a sperm cell with the nucleus of an egg cell, producing a diploid zygote (n+n=2n)16)  A cell containing two homologous sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent (2n)17) One of the two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome in a eukaryotic cell; they are joined at the centromere of the chromosome.18) The second phase of cell division; all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at the equator (center) of the cell19) The two chromosomes that make up a matched pair in a diploid cell. They are the same length and possess genes One is inherited from the organisms father, the other from the mother20) The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
