Across
- 5. DNA replication occurs here.
- 6. An identical copy of a chromosome, joined at the centromere.
- 10. Longest stage of the cell cycle
- 11. This is replicated during the synthesis phase
- 12. Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
- 13. Division of the cytoplasm, forming two daughter cells.
- 14. Cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis.
- 15. Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform.
Down
- 1. Cell prepares for mitosis.
- 2. phase, where the cell spits
- 3. Microtubule network that pulls chromosomes apart.
- 4. Chromatin condenses, nuclear envelope breaks down.
- 6. Uncontrolled cell division, often linked to cell cycle regulation failure.
- 7. Chromosomes line up at the cell's equator (middle).
- 8. The resting phase
- 9. Threadlike structures carrying genetic info.
- 14. Cell growth phases.
