Across
- 3. Cell that can divide for long periods of time while remaining undifferentiated
- 4. Pattern of growth, DNA replication, and cell division that occurs in a eukaryotic cell.
- 7. Process by which offspring are produced from a single parent
- 9. Last phase of mitosis when a complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell.
- 14. Substance that produces or promotes the development of cancer
- 15. Second phase of mitosis when spindle fibers align the chromosomes along the cell equator
- 18. Common name for a class of disease characterized by uncontrolled cell division
- 22. Process by washing the cell cytoplasm divides
- 23. To spread by transferring a disease-causing agent from the disease to other parts of the body

Down
- 1. Process by which unspecialized cell develop into their mature form and function
- 2. Long, continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes and regulatory information
- 5. Canoes tumor in which cells break away and spread to other parts of the body, causing harm to the organism’s health
- 6. Region of condescended chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis
- 8. Loose combination of DNA and proteins that is present during interphase
- 10. First phase of mitosis when chromatin condenses, the nuclear envelope breaks down, the nucleolus disappears, and the centrosomes and centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the cell
- 11. Process by which a cell divides its nucleus and contents
- 12. Repeating nucleotide at the ends of DNA molecules that do not form genes and help prevent the loss of genes
- 13. A sexual reproduction in which a cell divides into two equal parts
- 16. Third phase of mitosis during which chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
- 17. Protein that organizes chromosomes and around which DNA wraps
