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