Across
- 1. process that controls steps of cell division to ensure cell duplicates
- 4. protein structures that form during cell division
- 7. where sister chromatids separate at the centromere pulled by spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell
- 8. a condensed structure of DNA and proteins that carries genetic information
- 9. normal checkpoints fail leading to uncontrolled growth
- 12. parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells
- 13. the cell cycle stage where condensed chromosomes align perfectly along the center
- 15. cells dividing the cytoplasm
- 17. final stage in cytokinesis where two new nuclei form at opposite ends of the cell
- 18. resting phase
Down
- 2. cell increases in size and synthesizes
- 3. events where a cell grows duplicates its DNA abd divides into two
- 5. DNA replicated
- 6. cells divide rapidly and without regulation
- 8. damaging rapidly dividing cells
- 9. quality control gates
- 10. produces proteins needed for cell division
- 11. eliminating unwanted or damaged cells
- 14. cells make exact copys of its DNA
- 16. the longest phase of the cycle
