About the Mitosis word search

The other words are the parts that move. DNA REPLICATION in interphase copies each CHROMOSOME into two sister CHROMATID strands joined at the CENTROMERE; the SPINDLE fibers, organized by each CENTRIOLE in animal cells, pull them apart; a new NUCLEUS forms around each set, and the cell splits into two identical DAUGHTERCELLS. The word list runs medium-to-hard and suits students from about 12 up. More in the science word searches and the cells word search.
