Across
- 2. divided in 3 parts. cell grows and DNA doubles
- 6. fibers that pull chromatids/chromosome pairs apart
- 8. first stage of mitosis two identical daughter cells
- 10. regulatory proteins crucial for controlling the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
- 12. sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the pole
- 14. stop cell division, stopping uncontrolled growth & initiating cell death if needed
- 15. end of cell division. the cytoplasm of a cell divides to form two separate daughter cells
Down
- 1. two identical copies of a chromosome that are formed during DNA replication
- 3. sexual reproduction resulting in gametes
- 4. enzymes that help cells get to the next stage of the cell cycle
- 5. uncontrolled cellular division
- 7. process that creates 2 haploid daughter cells
- 9. sister chromatids line up in the middle at the metaphase plate
- 11. checkpoints ensure that the cell is ready to proceed with division
- 13. double-membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, separating the nuclear contents from the cytoplasm
