Across
  1. 2. A disease characterized by the presence of malignant tumors (rapidly growing and spreading masses of abnormal body cells) in the body
  2. 4. form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during both types of nuclear division
  3. 6. The first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears
  4. 8. an abnormal mass of rapidly growing cells that forms within otherwise normal tissue
  5. 9. The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
  6. 11. In this, the centromeres of the chromosomes convene themselves on the metaphase plate (or equatorial plate), an imaginary line that is equidistant from the two centrosome poles
  7. 12. Ordered sequence of events that extends from the time a eukaryotic cell is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells
  8. 15. the indentation of the cell's surface that begins the progression of cleavage
  9. 16. A double membrane across the midline of a dividing plant cell,between which the new cell wall forms during cytokinesis
  10. 18. A complex of proteins associated with the centromere of a chromosome during cell division, to which the microtubules of the spindle attach
  11. 19. Ordered sequence of events that extends from the time a eukaryotic cell is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells
  12. 20. A process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells
Down
  1. 1. The stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase, when replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell
  2. 2. Each of the two thread like strands into which a chromosome divides during cell division
  3. 3. Complex of DNA and proteins that make up eukaryotic chromosomes
  4. 5. Are special proteins that permit the cell cycle to continue only when certain conditions have been met inside the cell
  5. 7. Proteins that respond to events outside the cell.External regulators direct cells to speed up or slow down the cell cycle. Growth factors are among the most important external regulators. They stimulate the growth and division of cells
  6. 10. The cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated
  7. 13. Any of a number of proteins associated with the cycle of cell division which are thought to initiate certain processes of mitosis
  8. 14. gene carrying structure that is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells
  9. 17. The final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed
