unit 3

5. The second growth phase of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs, prepares for M phase
6. Division of the nucleus. Continuous process that is divided into four phases, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, makes identical body cells
7. disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
8. one of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
10. division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells plant cells: cell plate and animal cells: cleavage furrow
12. A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably.
14. first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
15. An abnormal tissue mass that can spread into neighboring tissue and to other parts of the body; a cancerous tumor.
16. the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
17. series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide

1. the first gap, or growth phase and creation of new organelles
2. The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated.
3. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin, 2 nuclear envelopes form, nucleolus become visible
4. a mass of abnormal cells that remains at the site of origin
7. granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
9. in between period of the cell cycle between cell divisions, includes G1, S and G2
10. one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
11. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
13. second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
