- 2. What is an abnormal mass of cells that may be cancerous?
- 3. What is an individual living thing?
- 5. phase What is a phase in the cell cycle when DNA is replicated?
- 8. Replication What is a process occurring before cell division in which DNA is copied.
- 9. What stage is it when you have two separate cells each half of the original DNA?
- 11. What stage is where the cell gets the idea that it's time to divide?
- 13. The division of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell, which occurs in four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
