Across
  1. 2. when a new genetically identical individual cell forms on the body of the parent cell
  2. 4. the phase where the nuclear envelope breaks down
  3. 5. programmed cell death
  4. 7. a segment of DNA that stores genetic information
  5. 8. cycle the regular pattern of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, or cells with nuclei
  6. 12. the phase where sister chromatids move away to opposite sides of the cell
  7. 14. the genetic material that contains information that determines an organism’s inherited characteristics
  8. 15. strands of replicated chromosomes
  9. 17. differentiation the process by which a cell becomes specialized for a specific structure and function during the development of a multicellular organism
  10. 18. a cell formed when a sperm cell and an egg cell fuse
  11. 19. the phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and the nucleus is disassembled
  12. 20. cells a unique type of body cell that can develop into a variety of specialized cells through differentiation
Down
  1. 1. when a piece of an organism grows into a new genetically identical organism
  2. 3. one long continuous thread of DNA that consists of many genes
  3. 6. the phase where nuclear membranes start to form
  4. 8. the stage that divides the cell cytoplasm, creating two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell
  5. 9. the part of a chromosome where sister chromatids are held rogether
  6. 10. cells spend most of their time in this phase
  7. 11. uncontrolled cell growth
  8. 13. cell organelle that holds your DNA
  9. 16. cell division that only occurs in body cells
