DNA & Cell Cycle
Across
- 2. segment of DNA that codes for a protein or trait
- 3. nitrogenous base that pairs with guanine
- 6. phase in the cell cycle where two new nuclei form
- 8. phase of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated
- 10. control mechanism that ensures the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase
- 12. nitrogenous base that pairs with adenine
- 14. a mass of cells that form due to uncontrolled cell division
- 16. phase in the cell cycle where the nuclear membrane dissolves
- 18. phase in the cell cycle where the cytoplasm separates into two separate daughter cells
- 20. longest phase of the cell cycle where cells grow & prepare for division
Down
- 1. the type of sugar that makes up DNA
- 4. nitrogenous base that pairs with thymine & uracil
- 5. process where DNA make a copy of itself
- 7. phase in cell cycle where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
- 9. cell undifferentiated cell that vies rise to specialized cells
- 11. phase in the cell cycle where chromosomes are separated to opposite ends of the cell
- 13. phase in the cell cycle where a single cell divides into two cells
- 15. disease caused by uncontrollable cell division
- 17. nitrogenous base that pairs with cytosine
- 19. monomer for nucleic acids
