Across
- 5. joined copies of the original chromosome
- 6. accounts for ~90% of the cycle
- 10. the life of a cell from the time it first formed during division of a parent cell until its own division into two daughter cells
- 11. a control point where stop and go-ahead signals can regulate the cycle
- 13. reproductive cells
- 15. an enzyme that activate or inactivate other proteins by phosphorylating them
- 16. the entire complex of DNA and proteins that is the building material of chromosomes
- 17. the division of genetic material in the nucleus
- 18. reproduction of cells
- 19. an imaginary plate rather than an actual cell structure; a plane located midway between the spindle's two poles
- 20. a subcellular region containing material that functions throughout the cell cycle to organize the cell's microtubules
Down
- 1. a protein released by certain cells that stimulates other cells to divide
- 2. the division of the cytoplasm
- 3. includes both mitosis and cytokinesis
- 4. a cell's DNA, its genetic information
- 7. protein that gets its name from its cyclically fluctuating concentration in the cell
- 8. consists of fibers made of microtubules and associated proteins
- 9. "division in half," refers to this process and tho the asexual reproduction of single-celled eukaryotes
- 10. DNA molecules are packaged into these structures
- 12. a structure made up of protiens that have assembled on specific sections of DNA at each centromere
- 14. all body cells (not reproductive cells)
- 18. a region made up of repetitive sequences in the chromosomal DNA where the chromatid is attached most closely to its sister chromatid
