  1. 6. cycle Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
  2. 7. Phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
  3. 8. reproduction Process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
  4. 9. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
  5. 11. division Process in which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
  6. 13. Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
  7. 14. First and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
  8. 15. One of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
  9. 17. factor One of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells
  10. 19. Developing stage of a multicellular organism

  1. 1. Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach
  2. 2. Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
  3. 3. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
  4. 4. Period of the cell cycle between cell divisions in which the cell grows
  5. 5. reproduction Type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism
  6. 9. Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
  7. 10. cell Unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
  8. 12. Disorder in which some of the body’s cells lose the ability to control growth
  9. 16. One of two identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome
  10. 18. Mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
