Chapter 10 - Cell Growth and Division
Across
- 1. 1 of a family of proteins that regulates the cycle in eukaryotic cells
- 3. process of programmed cell death
- 4. cells from 2 parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism
- 5. first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
- 8. region of a chromosome where the 2 sister chromatids attach
- 9. 1 of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells
- 12. cell divides into 2 new daughter cells
- 13. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
- 14. division of the cytoplasm to form 2 separate daughter cells
- 15. part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
- 16. series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form 2 daughter cells
Down
- 1. structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
- 2. period of cell cycle between cell divisions
- 3. a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
- 6. 1 of 2 identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
- 7. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- 10. disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
- 11. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
- 12. threadlike structures of DNA and protein that contains genetic information
- 13. mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
