Across
- 2. the phase of the cell cycle that the cell spends the longest in
- 3. the death of cells
- 5. cells able to change into almost any other cell
- 6. the splitting of cytoplasm before a cell divides
- 8. cells that sit at the bottom of a branching development
- 9. the final phase of mitosis; nuclear envelope reforms and cells split
- 10. adult stem cells; can change into any kind of differentiating cell
- 11. asexual process in which cells multiply
- 14. the binding piece at the center of a chromosome
- 15. a large twine of DNA that lies in the nucleus of a cell
- 18. a reproductive process that only requires one parent
- 19. a developmental stage in sexual reproduction
- 20. the fibers that compose a chromosome
- 23. the process by which cells become specialized
- 24. the third phase of mitosis that sees chromosomes being pulled to the edges of the cell
- 25. the four phase process a cell goes through to reproduce
Down
- 1. microtubules that support the cell during mitosis and produce spindle fibers
- 4. a cell able to turn into any other type of cell
- 7. a hollow ball of cells with a cluster of cells inside
- 8. a reproductive process that requires two parents
- 12. a naturally occuring substance capable of simulating cell proliferation
- 13. an abnormal mass of tissue caused by rapidly multiplying rogue cells
- 16. a disease involving uncontrollable growth of cells
- 17. the process of a cell growing and developing after division
- 20. any number of proteins associated with cell division
- 21. the first phase of mitosis; nuclear envelope breaks down
- 22. the second phase of mitosis; involves chromosomes lining up in the middle of the cell
