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