Across
  1. 1. (two words, no spaces between words) the section of interphase where DNA is synthesized and chromosomes are duplicated (Hint: See Lesson 2a - Cell Division)
  2. 5. (Three words, no spaces between words) a small, rodent that lives in the desert, southwest of the United States, and has been the subject of genetic studies (Hint: see 12b - Rock Pocket Mouse - Genetics)
  3. 7. (Two words, no spaces between words) proteins that control normal cells by telling when cells to stop dividing, or by fixing damage in cells or telling them to go through the process of apoptosis (Hint: See Lesson 1a - Comparing Cancer Cells to Normal Cells)

  7. 18. the portion of mitosis where sister chromatids break apart and move to opposite sides of the cell (Hint: See Lesson 2a - Cell Division)
  8. 22. a type of blood or bone marrow cancer characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells (Hint: See Lesson 1a - Comparing Cancer Cells to Normal Cells)
  9. 23. a possible risk factor for cancer that is caused by gamma and x-rays (Hint: See The Cell Cycle and Cancer Video)
  10. 24. a type of dark rock that sometimes flows from volcanic vents in the desert southwest (Hint: See Lesson 12b)
  11. 25. the portion of mitosis when the sister chromatids have moved toward the opposite ends of the cell and 2 nuclei are formed (Hint: See Lesson 2a - Cell Division)
  12. 26. (two words, no space between words) a non-mutant phenotype (Hint: See Lesson 12b)
  13. 28. is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection (Hint: See Lesson 12b)
Down
  1. 2. an animal that hunts at night (Hint: See Lesson 12b)
