Across
- 6. process in which a cell divides into two daughter cells
- 8. one of two identical "sister" parts of a chromosome
- 9. region of the chromosome where two sister chromatids attach
- 10. series of events where a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides
- 12. reproduction with two parents and creates a new organism.
- 14. phase of mitosis where the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
- 15. cell with limited potential to develop into many types of differentiated cells
- 16. disorder in which some of the body's cells lose ability to control growth
- 19. reproduction that requires only one parent, genetically identical to the parent
- 21. the process of programmed cell death
- 22. cells that are capable of developing into most, but not all of the body's cell types.
- 23. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- 24. period of the cell cycle between cell divisions where a cell grows

Down
- 1. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
- 2. one of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
- 3. cells that can develop into any type of cell (in the human body)
- 4. unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
