Cell cycle Rogan Ciesielski Name:

5. identical copies of a chromosome that are joined together by a centromere
6. elongated cells that can be found in both healthy tissue and tumors
7. the first stage of mitosis
8. the process of making two identical copies of DNA from one original DNA molecule
10. the flow of two phases of matter, or to a type of electrical power distribution
11. the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm of a single cell is physically divided into two separate daughter cells
13. during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division
14. a stage of cell division when chromosomes condense and line up in the middle of a cell
16. the process by which cells increase in size and mass
17. refers to the "interphase" stage of the cell cycle, where a cell grows
19. a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell
21. the process by which a cell splits into two identical or similar daughter cells
22. an organelle that helps cells divide, or make copies of themselves
23. the phase of the cell cycle when a cell grows and prepares for cell division
24. proteins that regulate the cell cycle by binding to cyclin-dependent kinases

1. the stage of mitosis when replicated chromosomes are separated and moved to opposite ends of a cell
2. the initial stage of the cell cycle phase called interphase
3. They happen when normal cells become cancerous cells that multiply and spread
4. a series of events that take place in a cell
9. the stage of the cell cycle when DNA is replicated
12. an abnormal growth of tissue in the body that can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign)
15. a constricted region of a chromosome that connects sister chromatids and helps separate DNA during cell division
18. the final stage of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis
20. the first stage of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
