Biology- Cell growth and division
Across
- 2. Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
- 5. Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones
- 7. Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
- 9. An embryo at the stage following the blastula, when it is a hollow cup-shaped structure having three layers of cells.
- 10. The production and development of the organs of an animal or plant.
- 11. Process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
- 12. Disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
- 13. Repetitive DNA at the end of a eukaryotic chromosome
- 14. Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
Down
- 1. Unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
- 3. Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach
- 4. The process by which cancer spreads from one place to another
- 5. Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
- 6. Packages/Clusters of DNA
- 8. Stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
- 9. Sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait; factor that is passed from parent to offspring
- 12. One of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
