Cell Cycle

5. In the nucleus, the material that DNA forms takes when it is not coiled into chromosomes.
7. Stage of interphase in which cell grows and performs its normal functions.
8. The process of cell division where one cell splits into two identical cells.
12. Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached.
14. The regular cycle of growth and division that cells undergo.
16. Pair of centrioles (organelles) that control movement during cell division.
18. Final phase of mitosis during which chromosomes uncoil and a nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter cell.
19. Occur after G1, G2, and metaphase to insure that cell is not damaged.
21. Cell death
22. The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated.

1. Stage when the cytoplasm splits to form two separate daughter cells.
2. One half of a duplicated chromosome.
3. Resulting identical cells result of cell division of parent cell.
4. The second gap, or growth phase, of interphase in which cell grows and performs its normal functions.
6. Coiled structure made of DNA and proteins in the form the genetic material.
9. Longest period of cell cycle - growth between periods of mitosis: G1, S, G2 are the phases.
10. Original cell prior to cell division.
11. Any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.
13. Process by which a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells - two stages are mitosis and cytokinesis.
15. Second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
17. Chromosomes become visible, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms.
20. Third phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
