Cell Cycle/Mitosis
Across
- 2. a mass that forms as a result of uncontrolled cell growth; can be benign or malignant
- 4. stage of cell cycle where the cell examines conditions to ensure it is “okay” to move forward with the next step
- 7. structure that divides cells in plant cells
- 9. phase of cell division where sister chromatids line up in the center of the cell
- 10. stage of cell division where chromosomes become visible and nuclear envelope disappears
- 11. cycle that consists of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis
- 14. identical copies of chromosomes joined together by a centromere
- 17. stage of cell division where nuclei are formed around chromatids that have moved to opposite ends of the cell
- 18. early developmental stage of an animal when it is still in the egg or uterus
- 19. a body cell; non-reproductive cell
- 20. phase where sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell
Down
- 1. cell that has not been differentiated but can be used to differentiate
- 3. help pull apart the cell during replication and are made up of micrtubules
- 5. phase of the cell cycle where the cell is growing and preparing for division
- 6. type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells
- 8. a single set of unpaired chromosomes in humans (n)=23
- 12. cytoplasm division at the in cell cycle; end of cell cycle
- 13. pinching of the cell membrane and cytoplasm to divide animal cells
- 15. region of the chromosome where microtubules attach
- 16. uncontrolled cell growth
