Cell Cycle

4. the location of DNA in all eukaryotic cells
9. identical copies of a chromosome; connected by a centromere
10. phase of the cell cycle during which chromosomes begin to unwind into chromatin: nuclear envelope reforms
15. network of microtubules that move the chromosomes in a cell
17. occurs during interphase
18. uncontrolled cell division
19. forms during cytokinesis in plant cells
20. the gel-like substance inside of the cell
23. a condensed form of DNA; you have 23 pairs of these in your body cells
24. stores genetic information

1. holds sister chromatids together
2. phase of the cell cycle during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and undergoes final preparation for cell division
3. phase of the cell cycle during which chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
5. phase of the cell cycle during which the cleavage furrow forms(in animal cells) and two identical daughter cells are produced
6. Chromosomes line up along this during metaphase
7. forms during cytokinesis in animal cells when the cytoplasm pinches inward
8. when a tumor is not cancerous
11. phase of interphase during which DNA replicates
12. when a tumor is cancerous
13. an abnormal growth of tissue; can either be malignant or benign
14. when DNA is copied
16. phase of the cell cycle during which the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
21. phase of the cell cycle during which chromatin condenses into chromosomes: spindle fibers form; nuclear envelope breaks down
22. division of the nucleus; consists of four stages(prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase)
