Across
- 4. disorder in which some of the body’s cells lose the ability to control growth
- 14. part of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
- 15. region of a chromosome in which the two sister chromatids attach
- 17. threadlike structure of DNA and protein that contains genetic info and condenses in Mitosis/Meiosis
- 18. process of programmed cell death
- 21. developing stage of a multicellular organism
- 22. structure in a cell that helps to organize cell division
- 23. process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell to produce 4 haploid daughter cells
- 24. type of reproduction in which cells from two parents combine to form offspring that are a genetic mix of both parents
- 26. one of a family of proteins that regulate the cel cycle in eukaryotic cells
- 27. unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
- 29. mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
- 30. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out in a tangle of chromatin and the nuclear envelope reforms
Down
- 1. cells that are capable of developing into most but not all of the body’s cell types
- 2. phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell
- 3. one of two identical sister parts of a duplicated chromosome
- 5. substance found in Eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones
- 6. cell that contains a full set of genes (2x ever chromosome)
- 7. process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis leading to further genetic diversity
- 8. period of cell cycle between cell divisions
- 9. stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
- 10. process of reproduction involving a single parent resulting in genetically identical offspring
- 11. first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and chromosomes become visible.
- 12. cell that contains only a single set of genes
- 13. structure containing four chromatids that form during mitosis
- 16. series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division and divides into daughter cells
- 17. division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
- 19. process by which cells become specialized in structure and function
- 20. part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus
- 25. referring to chromosomes in which one set came from one parent and the other set comes from the other parent
- 28. cell with limited potential to develop into many types of differentiated cells
