Across
- 6. an unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
- 9. cells are capable of developing into any type of cell found in the body
- 12. the first and longest phase of mitosis and the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and becomes visible chromosomes
- 14. reproduction where two parents cells come to form the first cell of a new organism
- 15. process where a cell divides into two new daughter cells
- 17. is one of a group of external regulators that stimulate the growth and division of cells
- 18. developing stage of a multicellular organism
- 19. a structure in a cell that organizes cell division
- 20. a substance found in eukaryotic cells consisting of DNA tightly coiled
- 23. is reproduction where one single parent forms offspring genetically identical
- 25. a threadlike structure in the nucleus that contains genetic information and passes it on for generations
- 28. is a phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends
Down
- 1. cells are capable of developing into most but not all of the body's cell types
- 2. is a series of events where a cell grows divides and creates two daughter cells
- 3. the process of programmed cell death
- 4. cells with limited potential to develop into many different types of differentiation cells
- 5. one of the two identical sister parts in a duplicated chromosome
- 7. region of a chromosome where the two sisters attach
- 8. division of the cytoplasm and two daughter cells are formed
- 10. is the process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
- 11. is one of a family of proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
- 13. is a phase of mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell'
- 16. is the period of the cell cycle where the cell grows
- 21. is part of eukaryotic cell division where the cell nucleus divides
- 22. is a phase in mitosis where the individual chromosomes spread into a tangle of chromatin
- 24. mass of rapidly dividing cells that can cause damage to tissue
- 26. a disorder where some of the body's cells lose the ability over growth control
- 27. stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
