Cell Growth and Division

3. Serious of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.
4. One of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome.
5. Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
10. Type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism.
12. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.
14. Period of the cell cycle between cell divisions in which the cell grows.
15. Part of eukaryotic cell division which the cell nucleus divides.
18. Process in which a cell divides into two new daughter cells.
19. Disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth.

1. Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division.
2. region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach.
6. Mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue.
7. Substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones.
8. First and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible.
9. Process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical parent.
11. Threadlike structure within the nucleus that contains genetic information that is passed on from one generation to the next
13. The process of programmed cell death.
16. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
17. One of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
