Across
- 2. is the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell or between the first and second divisions of meiosis.
- 5. differentiation of cells has occurred.
- 6. is the stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.
- 7. the first stage of cell division
- 10. is the death of cells that occurs as a regular and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.
- 15. is the region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach via the kinetochore during cell division.
- 16. Offspring produced by sexual reproduction inherit some of their genetic information from each parent.
- 17. the second stage of cell division between prophase and anaphase during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers
- 18. stem cell capable of giving rise to any cell type
- 21. stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all cell types within one particular lineage
- 22. are undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism which is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type and from which certain other kinds of cells arise by differentiation.
- 23. the action or process
- 25. process in which a cell divides
- 26. are threadlike structures of nucleic acids and proteins found in the nucleus of most living cells carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Down
- 1. is the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
- 3. any of a number of proteins associated with the cycle of cell division which is thought to initiate specific processes of mitosis.
- 4. the final phase of cell division
- 8. the production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent is known as asexual reproduction
- 9. a substance such as a vitamin or a hormone which is required to stimulate growth in living cells.
- 11. capable of giving rise to several different cell types
- 12. is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides
- 13. organelle near the nucleus in animal cells
- 14. each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
- 15. disorder is where body cells lose the ability to grow
- 19. in the process of development
- 20. a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus typical of normal tissue growth.
- 24. swelling of a part of the body generally without inflammation caused by an abnormal growth of tissue.
