Across
  1. 3. The phase of mitosis in which genetic material condenses and the spindle starts to form
  2. 6. A process of programmed cell death
  3. 9. A mass of cells formed from cancer cells
  4. 13. The process in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two new daughter cells
  5. 14. A fanlike system of microtubules that will help to separate the duplicated chromosomes
  6. 16. Proteins that direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell cycle
  7. 17. The use of chemical compounds to kill cancer cells or slow their growth
  8. 19. The complex of chromosome and proteins called histones
  9. 20. The production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent
  10. 21. The phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope reforms
  11. 22. The rate at which food and oxygen are used up and waste products are produced depends on the cell's ____________.
  12. 24. The phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate
  13. 26. A structure that forms halfway between the divided nuclei in plant cells during cytokinesis

Down
  1. 1. The formation of new individuals
  2. 2. The production of offspring by the fusion of special reproductive cells formed by each of two parents
  3. 4. The period of growth that separates cell divisions
  4. 5. Proteins that allow the cell cycle to proceed only when certain events have occurred in the cell itself
  5. 7. The rate at which food, oxygen, and water enter a cell and waste products leave the cell through its cell membrane depends on the cell's _____________.
  6. 8. The process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
  7. 10. A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control growth
  8. 11. Proteins that regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
  9. 12. The part of M phase that is the division of the cell nucleus
  10. 15. Beadlike structures that are formed when DNA tightly coils around the histones
  11. 17. Each DNA strand in the duplicated chromosome
  12. 18. The part of M phase that is the division of the cytoplasm
  13. 23. Packages of DNA in which genetic information is bundled
  14. 25. The phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up at the center of the cell and spindle fibers connect to chromosomes
