Across
- 1. division of genetic material
- 8. maternal and paternal copies of same chromosome
- 10. also known as G0, where cells often pause (potentially for years!) before DNA replication
- 11. division of the cytoplasm in a plant cell
- 14. requires duplication of genome, accurate segregation (separation), and division of cellular contents
- 16. ordered display of all chromosomes in an in individual organism
- 17. attachment site for microtubules
- 20. division of the cytoplasm in an animal cell, involves actin filaments
- 22. phase of mitosis in which microtubules attach to sister chromatids
- 24. how bacteria divide
- 25. first stage of bacterial division
- 26. phase of mitosis in which chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles
- 27. normal cellular genes that become oncogenes when mutated
- 28. cell cycle process is checked for accuracy and can be halted here if any errors
Down
- 2. phase within cell cycle that consists of G1, S, and G2
- 3. phase of mitosis in which chromosomes condense and become visible
- 4. both copies of this gene type must lose function for cancerous phenotype to develop
- 5. replication begins here, and proceeds in two directions
- 6. phase of mitosis in which all chromosomes are aligned at equator of cell
- 7. second stage of bacterial division
- 9. replicated chromosomes, held together at centromeres
- 12. phase of mitosis in which nuclear envelopes reform and chromosomes decondense
- 13. complex of DNA and protein that make chromosomes
- 15. chromatin in the nondividing nucleus that will be expressed
- 18. one complete set of chromosomes necessary to define an organism
- 19. complex of DNA and histone proteins, promote and guide coiling of DNA
- 21. division of the cytoplasm
- 23. third (final) stage of bacterial division, involves septation
