Cell Cycle

3. Replicated forms of a chromosome joined together by the centromere
5. division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
9. Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
11. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin; nuclear membrane begins to reform
13. process of programmed cell death
15. In a plant cell, midline of dividing cells. Becomes the cell wall eventually.
16. A=T and C=G
18. disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
19. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
20. Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
22. unwinding, complementary base pairing, and joining
23. regulatory proteins involved in cell cycle control

1. part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
2. Protein structures which move the chromosomes during cell division.
4. Chromosomes become visible, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms
6. A variable that decreases as cells grow, so that it sets a limit to the size of cells.
7. new cells produced by cell division
8. Enzyme involved in DNA replication that joins individual nucleotides to produce a DNA molecule
10. Condensed form of DNA present during mitosis
12. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
14. Cells grow, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consist of G1,S,and G2 phases
17. An enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix during DNA replication
21. relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell
