Across
  1. 3. phase in the cell cycle where DNA is replicated in the cell
  2. 5. cells reproducing by growing and dividing
  3. 7. the relaxed form of DNA in the cell's nucleus
  4. 10. phase in the cell cycle that is responsible for preparing the cell for mitosis
  5. 11. enzyme that unzips the DNA molecule to prepare it for replication
  6. 13. the method by which a cell's cytoplasm divides, creating a new cell
  7. 14. enzyme that takes unpaired nucleotides and pairs them with the unzipped DNA strand
  8. 15. stage during the cell cycle where the cell grows, carries out cellular functions, and replicates or makes copies of its DNA to prep for the next stage
  9. 16. the 3 parts of this structure include a phosphate, sugar, and a nitrogen base
Down
  1. 1. phase in the cell cycle responsible for initial growth of the cell
  2. 2. uncontrolled growth and division of cells - a failure in regulation of the cell cycle
  3. 4. pairs with adenine
  4. 6. pairs with guanine
  5. 8. the stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus and nuclear material divide
  6. 9. substances and agents that are known to cause cancer
  7. 12. structures that contain the genetic material that is passed from generation to generation of cells
