DNA and the Cell Cycle
Across
- 1. monomer of nucleic acids;made of phosphate, sugar, and base
- 3. nuclear division; divides DNA evenly for new cells
- 6. protein structures that seperate sister chromatids;appear during prophase
- 7. cells made during the cell cycle;known as body cells
- 10. special protein that catalyzes chemical reactions
- 11. part of cell cycle that is for cell growth, DNA synthesis, and mitosis preparation
- 13. result of uncontrolled cell growth
- 15. process of copying DNA for cell division
- 16. mass of abnormal cells
Down
- 2. made from two sister chromatids after replication;humans have 46
- 4. specific substance that binds to an enzyme's active site
- 5. process of making new cells for multicellular organisms
- 8. division of cytoplasm; results in two new cells
- 9. the change in shape of a protein;stops protein function
- 12. substance that blocks an enzyme's active site preventing a substrate from binding
- 14. nucleic acid responsible for storing genetic information
