Down
  1. 1. Reproduction involving the union of gametes
  2. 3. One of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells
  3. 5. Cell with limited potential to develop into many types of differentiated cells
  4. 6. Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
  5. 7. Phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
  6. 8. Reproduction, as budding, fission, or spore formation, not involving the union of gametes.
  7. 9. First and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
  8. 10. The division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material
  9. 11. Threadlike structure of DNA and protein that contains genetic information in eukaryotes, chromosomes are found in the nucleus;in prokaryotes, they are found in the cytoplasm
