  4. 10. the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus
  5. 11. the final phase of cell division
  6. 12. carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
  7. 14. containing two complete sets of chromosomes
  8. 16. molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism
  9. 18. period of rapid cell growth and protein synthesis during which the cell prepares itself for mitosis

  12. 21. a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells
  13. 22. the stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase
  14. 23. genetically identical to the parent cell
  15. 25. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell.
  16. 26. the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new cells
Down
  1. 1. carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
  2. 2. that grow uncontrollably and spread locally and/or to distant sites
  3. 3. region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach
  4. 7. the process of making an RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence
  5. 8. DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules
  6. 9. the second stage of cell division
  7. 10. divides the genetic material in a cell
  8. 13. series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides
  9. 15. a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells
  10. 17. the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life
  11. 24. it is paired with guanine in double-stranded DNA.
