Across
  1. 3. Cell cycle stage that includes both mitosis and cytokinesis.
  2. 4. Stage of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells.
  3. 7. Thread-like structures carrying genetic information and are often visible during prophase.
  4. 9. Stage where chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.
  5. 10. DNA replication stage from 46 to 92 chromatids.
  6. 12. Formation of bulges in plasma membrane of dying cells.
  7. 13. Programmed cell death.
  8. 15. Main tumor suppressor gene.
  9. 17. Rapid cell division.
  10. 18. A mutated proto-oncogene that drives uncontrolled cell division.
  11. 21. DNA-protein complex that is seen during interphase.
  12. 23. Fragments from programmed cell death.
  13. 25. Stage where nuclear membrane disappears and spindle fibres form.
Down
  1. 1. Stage where chromosomes align in the middle of the equator.
  2. 2. A disc-like shape formed in the middle of a dividing plant cell.
  3. 5. Cell death due to injury or disease which causes the cell to swell up.
  4. 6. The stage where an initial checkpoint detects if the cell has grown correctly.
  5. 7. An indentation on the surface of animal cells during cytokinesis.
  6. 8. Enzymes involved in apoptosis.
  7. 11. Stage of mitosis where nuclei reform at the poles of the cell.
  8. 14. Process of a white blood cell that engulfs cells and digest its content.
  9. 16. Tightening of chromatin for division.
  10. 19. Region holding sister chromatids together.
  11. 20. One half of a chromosome.
  12. 22. Large white blood cell involved in intaking apoptotic bodies.
  13. 24. Protein structure that is contracted to separate chromosomes.
