Across
- 3. Cell Division When normal regulatory pacing breaks down, causing cells to divide rapidly and continuously without stopping.
- 5. A mass of cells resulting from rapid, continuous, and abnormal tissue growth that can be localized or invasive
- 6. A localized, non-cancerous mass of tissue that stays contained within clear borders and does not spread to other parts of the body.
- 8. Changes or errors in the DNA sequence that can alter how a cell functions or how it responds to internal and external regulatory signals.
- 9. The active growth and preparation phase of the cell cycle consisting of cell growth (G_1), DNA replication (S), and final preparation for division (G_2).
Down
- 1. A mass of cells resulting from rapid, continuous, and abnormal tissue growth that is invasive.
- 2. Regulatory stop-signs in the cell cycle that inspect DNA for damage and ensure proper conditions before allowing the cell to move forward.
- 4. Chemical signals or hormones in the body that can abnormally trigger or disrupt cell growth and division.
- 7. A resting state where cells carry out normal daily functions and are not actively dividing.
