Across
- 2. One of the identical rods of Chromosome
- 4. A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably
- 5. The stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs; during this stage, the cell grows, copies its DNA, and prepares to divide.
- 7. The process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its Nucleus.
- 9. This stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's Nucleus divides into two new Nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed into each daughter cell.

- 3. An organism that cannot make its own food.
- 6. The Process by which plants and some other organisms capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food.
- 7. The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release the energy they contain.
- 8. The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo
- 10. Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
- 11. A double rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information.
- 12. The process by which cells break down molecules to release energy without using oxygen
- 13. A disease in which somebody's cells grow and divide uncontrollably, damaging the parts of the body around them.
- 14. A change in a gene or chromosome
