Across
  1. 3. The phase of the cell cycle where the cell makes another full set of organelles and is preparing to divide
  2. 4. The first stage of mitosis where the nucleus disappears and the chromosomes become visible
  3. 9. The process of synthesizing new DNA from the parent DNA stand. Involves three steps.
  4. 11. Where DNA is found in Eukaryotes
  5. 15. The phase of the cell cycle where DNA is made/copied
  6. 18. The cell division phase of the cell cycle; also known as mitosis or cell division
  7. 19. The enzyme used to add complementary nitrogen bases to the parent strand in the second step of DNA replication
  8. 21. biomolecule that stores genetic information, examples include DNA, RNA, and ATP
  9. 23. Biomolecule that stores long-term energy, makes up the majority of the cell membrane
  10. 24. Cancer causing molecule
  11. 25. Cell Division resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells
  12. 26. The enzyme used to unzip the DNA double helix in the first step of DNA replication
  13. 27. The new cell or DNA strand that was made from the original cell or DNA strand
  14. 28. Cell death
  15. 29. Phase of the cell cycle where the cell doubles in size (it only grows during this phase)
Down
  1. 1. Means "to make"
  2. 2. The stage of mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell known as the equator
  3. 5. Where DNA is found in Prokaryotes
  4. 6. The last stage of mitosis where the nuclei reappear around the two sets of DNA located at opposite sides of the cell
  5. 7. The stage of mitosis where the chromosomes are pulled away from the center to opposite sides of the cell
  6. 8. A mass of cells with damaged DNA, causes cancer
  7. 10. Process that cells go through to make identical daughter cells for growth and repair
  8. 12. Biomolecule that stores short-term energy, found in fruits, bread, pasta, and cereal
  9. 13. Follows mitosis, the splitting of the cytoplasm into two creating two genetically identical daughter cells
  10. 14. The center of the cell
  11. 16. Biomolecule that provides structure, helps transport large molecules across the cell membrane, can act as enzymes
  12. 17. The original cell or DNA strand that is used to replicate another
  13. 20. Caused by a tumor due to uncontrolled cell division caused by damaged DNA
  14. 22. Cells spend 90% of their time in this phase. It is made of G1, S phase, and G2 phase
