Across
- 5. A complex chromosome in eukaryotic cells that form a close association with histones.
- 6. During this phase, the chromosomes separate and move along spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cells
- 8. A structural unit of a eukaryotic chromosome, consisting of a length of DNA coiled around a core of histones
- 11. Contains four stages, this is the process of cell division by which the nucleus divides, ending with cytokinesis
- 12. Many of the organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced
- 14. The process of cell in prokaryotes is a form of asexual reproduction
- 17. New DNA is synthesized when chromosomes are replicated
- 19. Process of programmed cell death
- 20. The type of reproduction involving 2 parents
Down
- 1. During this phase, the chromosomes, which were distinct and condensed, begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatids
- 2. When cancer cells divide uncontrollably to form a mass of cells.
- 3. This completes the process of cell division, splitting one cell into two
- 4. Cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles
- 7. The process in which a cell divides into 2 new daughter cells
- 9. They contain genetic information, the "recipe" for the body in the form of DNA
- 10. During this phase, the centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- 13. The genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the duplicated chromosomes become visible
- 15. Separation by an “in-between” period of growth
- 16. A disorder in which body cells lose the ability to control cell growth.
- 18. The type of reproduction involving 1 parent
