Across
- 2. holds sister chromatids together.
- 6. phase of the cell cycle during which chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
- 7. uncontrolled cell division.
- 8. phase of the cell cycle during which chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
- 10. produces the spindle fibers in animal cells.
- 13. the stage of the cell or nucleus when it is not in mitosis?
- 15. phase of interphase during which DNA replicates.
- 16. the stage of the cell or nucleus when it is not in mitosis.
- 18. is a stage in the eukaryotic cell cycle at which the cell examines internal and external cues.
- 19. the location of DNA in all eukaryotic cells.
Down
- 1. is a double membrane that encloses the cell nucleus.
- 3. the second growth period of the cell cycle following DNA replication and preceding prophase, during which the cell forms the materials that make up the spindle.
- 4. network of microtubules that move the chromosomes in a cell.
- 5. phase of the cell cycle during which the cleavage furrow forms(in animal cells) and two identical daughter cells are produced.
- 9. phase of the cell cycle during which chromosomes begin to unwind into chromatin: nuclear envelope reforms.
- 11. division of the nucleus; consists of four stages(prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase).
- 12. the ability of a cell to receive, process, and transmit signals with its environment and with itself.
- 14. phase of the cell cycle during which the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
- 17. occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene.
