Across
  1. 2. Steps of ladder are made of...
  2. 4. Division of the nucleus, occurs in 4 phases; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
  3. 8. Cell division, consisting of mitosis and cytokinesis
  4. 9. sugar that is in DNA
  5. 11. A part of nucleotides, examples A, T, C, G
  6. 13. The division of the cytoplasm, creates 2 identical daughter cells
  7. 18. The Base Pair G matches with
  8. 19. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
  9. 20. The series of events a cell goes through as it grows and divides
  10. 22. Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones (proteins)
  11. 23. the final phase of cell division in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
  12. 24. The third part of interphase, when the cell prepares for mitosis
  13. 26. Pairs/goes with Cytosine
  14. 28. Chromosomes become visible, nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle forms
  15. 29. The second part of interphase, when DNA replicates so that each daughter cell will receive identical genetic info
  16. 30. The sides of the ladder are made of phosphate groups and _____________
Down
  1. 1. structure made of DNA and associated proteins on which genes are located
  2. 3. Developed an accurate model of DNA
  3. 5. What does DNA stand for?
  4. 6. The first part of interphase, when the cell grows in size
  5. 7. sugar sugar used in DNA to make up the "backbone"
  6. 10. Adenine Guanine Cytosine and Thymine are called _____________
  7. 12. A building block of DNA, subunit, or monomer
  8. 14. The Base Pairs that match with AC
  9. 15. The Shape of DNA
  10. 16. British scientist who generated xray diffraction pictures of DNA, that provided evidence of of double helix data about DNA
  11. 17. The longest phase of the cell cycles, made up of G1, S, and G2, when the cell is not actively dividing
  12. 21. The circle component of a nucleotide unit
  13. 25. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
  14. 27. Pairs/goes with Thymine
