Across
- 2. region of chromosome where chromatids attach
- 4. process in which cell grows prepares and divides
- 6. developing stage of embryotic organisms
- 8. process of cell death
- 9. structure to help organize cell division
- 10. Cells from two parents unite to form new one
- 11. phase of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in center of cell
- 12. phase when chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides
- 15. period of cell cycle between cell divisions
- 16. process in which cells divide
- 17. consists of DNA coiled around histones
- 18. first and longest phase of cell division, genetic material condenses
- 19. phase of mitosis when chromosomes spread out into a tangle of chromatin
- 20. mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage tissue
Down
- 1. unspecialized cell that can become a specialized cell
- 3. threadlike structure containing DNA and protein
- 5. division of cytoplasm to form two daughter cells
- 7. reproduction involving a single parent
- 13. disorder when cells lose control of growth
