Cell Growth & Division

4. long strands of DNA found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus; condenses to form chromosomes
10. where cell increase in size, replicates DNA, and prepares for cell division
11. a protein that regulates the cell cycle
14. final stage of nuclear division; new nuclear membrane reforms
16. cancer cells that form in a mass
17. a process of programmed cell death
18. the inner mass of cells; can develop into any cell type
20. period following mitosis in which the cell's cytoplasm divides and separates into new cells
22. reproduction that produces clones of parent cell
23. period of nuclear cell division in which 2 identical daughter cells are formed

1. a developmental stage in which 1 cell becomes many
2. a stage in human development when specialization has begun
3. the process by which cells become specialized
5. has the ability to develop into any type of cell in the body
6. are unspecialized cells from which different cells develop
7. cell structure that joins two sister chromatids of a duplicated chromosome
8. period of mitosis where the duplicated chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell and attach to spindle fibers
9. found only in animal cells; composed of microtubules and holds spindle fibers during mitosis
12. cell structure that carries genetic material that is copied and passed to offspring
13. adult stem cells that can replace cells but are limited to one location
15. first and longest phase of mitosis where chromatin coils into visible chromosomes
19. phase in which the centromeres split and pull chromatids to opposite poles of the cell
21. reproduction that increases genetic diversity; 2 parents
