Across
- 3. The first and longest of the four stages.
- 4. enzymes in the cell cycle.
- 7. Second stage of mitosis
- 8. The stage during which the cell grows, develops into a mature, functioning cell, duplicates the DNA in its nucleus, and prepares for division.
- 10. The structure at the center of the chromosome where the sister chromatids are attached.
- 12. A relaxed form of DNA
- 13. Some cells go through this process.
- 14. The stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus and nuclear material divide.
- 15. Proteins in the cell cycle.
- 16. When cells don’t respond to the normal cell cycle control mechanisms this condition happens.
- 17. Condensed structures that contain the DNA that are visible by mitosis.
- 18. Towards the end of mitosis the cell begins to divide in the cell’s cytoplasm.
Down
- 1. The last stage of mitosis.
- 2. The whole structure, including the spindle fibers, centrioles, and aster fibers.
- 5. Together into chromatin fibers, which supercoil to make up the structure recognized as a chromosome.
- 6. Substances and agents that are known to cause cancer.
- 9. The chromatids are pulled apart which results in the separation of replicated DNA.
- 11. Structures that contain identical copies of DNA.
- 12. Cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing
