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