Across
- 6. Structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
- 7. Threadlike structures within the nucleus that contains genetic information passed on from one generation to the next.
- 8. Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
- 9. Process in which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
- 11. Spread to other sites in the body
- 12. An embryo at the stage following the blastula, when it is a hollow cup-shaped structure having three layers of cells.
- 13. Substance found in eukaryotic cells that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones.
- 15. The process of formation of organs from three germ layers.
- 16. Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach
Down
- 1. Disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
- 2. One of two identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome
- 3. Sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait; factor that is passed from parent to offspring
- 4. Stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
- 5. Process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
- 7. Series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
- 10. Repetitive DNA at the end of a eukaryotic chromosome
- 14. Unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
