Across
- 3. Organelle that forms spindle fibers during mitosis.
- 4. Chromosomes condense and become visible, nuclear membrane disintegrates, and the spindle fibers form.
- 6. One of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome.
- 7. Final stage where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
- 9. Cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells.
- 10. Cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.
- 11. Programmed cell death, this is when cells to self-destruct when they are no longer needed or are damaged.
- 14. Structure that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells, forms a new cell wall between two daughter cells.
- 16. Substance or agent that can cause cancer.
- 17. Indentation in cell membrane during cytokinesis in animal cells.
- 18. Cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
- 20. Chromosomes align at the cell's equator, attached to spindle fibers.
Down
- 1. Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
- 2. Region where the two sister chromatids are joined together and where the spindle fibers attach during mitosis.
- 5. Series of events that leads to the cell division and duplication.
- 8. Phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows, performs its normal functions,and prepares for division.
- 12. Protein structures that form to separate sister chromatids.
- 13. Chromatids reach the poles, and nuclear membranes re-forms.
- 14. Long, thread-like structure made of DNA and proteins that contains genetic information. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell.
- 15. Group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division.
- 19. Cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink tumours.
