Cell Cycle Project
Across
- 5. Proteins attached to centromere to link chromatid to mitotic spindle
- 7. Cells are split into 2 cells by cleavage furrow(animals), and cell plate forms (plant)
- 10. growing cells
- 12. Similar to all cancers because it has DNA mutations- don't follow checkpoints, immortal, and evade apoptosis.
- 14. Longest portion of cell cycle- contains G1, S, and G2
- 15. Reproductive cells-contain haploid-divide by meiosis
- 16. Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of cell, cell then elongates
- 18. One set of chromosomes
- 19. Centrosomes at opposite poles, line up at metaphase plate, and microtubules attached to each kinetochore
- 20. Checks for cell size, growth factors, and DNA damage
- 21. Hormones released by cells that stimulate cell growth-CDKs activated leading to progression through cycle
- 23. Has specific regulatory effect-these phosphorylate target proteins, which help regulate events in the cell cycle
- 24. Two nucleus formed in preparation for cytoplasm to split
- 25. Repeating unit of eukaryotic chromatin
Down
- 1. Condensed chromatin
- 2. Protein that provides structural support to a chromosome
- 3. Region on chromatid where they are most closely attached
- 4. Synthesized and degraded at specific stages of the cell cycle
- 6. Material are composed as DNA/RNA
- 7. A way to prevent cancer, by killing the
- 8. Body cells-contain diploid cells-divide by mitosis
- 9. Chromatin condenses, mitotic spindle forms, centrosomes move away from each other
- 11. Nuclear envelope fragments, and microtubules enter nuclear area and some attach to kinetochores
- 13. Cells rely on attachment to other cells of matrix to divide
- 15. Some stay here forever, and some can be called back into the cell
- 17. Two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent
- 21. Checks for completion of DNA replication and DNA damage-If good, then moves to mitosis
- 22. Includes Mitosis, Cytokinesis, and results in 2 identical diploid cells
