Across
- 1. duplication of the cell's genetic information in four phases
- 4. third phase of mitosis
- 5. one of the duplicated strands of DNA.
- 7. a series of events where the cell grows.
- 10. single parent and identical offspring.
- 11. DNA packaged and prepared in the cell for cell division.
- 12. proteins that regulate the timing of the cell cycle; these proteins are inside and outside the cell.
- 14. proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells.
- 17. "beads on a string"
- 19. the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells.
- 20. second phase of mitosis
- 21. a mass of cells; can be benign which means the mass doesn't spread.
Down
- 2. final phase of mitosis where spindle breaks apart.
- 3. a mass of body cells that do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells.
- 6. the part of the cell cycle where the cell grows.
- 8. tiny paired structures where spindles come from to attach to the centromere to.
- 9. two parents and genetic material taken from both parents.
- 13. first described phase of mitosis
- 15. a process of programmed cell death; cells end their life cycle in one of two ways: damage or programmed.
- 16. the splitting of one cell into two.
- 18. duplicated strands of DNA attach.
