Unit 3

2. The indentation of a dividing cell which forms into a bridge that connects the 2 daughter cells
5. first growth
6. the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms
7. the series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides
10. step of the cell cycle in which the cell must faithfully separate the chromosomes and cytoplasm, yielding two daughter cells
11. any of a group of proteins active in controlling the cell cycle and in initiating DNA synthesis the phase where dna is replicated
13. period when cell is in non-dividing state
14. cell with 2 sets of chromosomes
16. the material of which the chromosomes of organisms are composed

1. A plate that forms between the 2 dividing chromosomes. Only in plant cells
3. second growth/prepare for division
4. any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells
5. a reproductive cell of an animal or plant
7. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells
8. cell with 1 set of chromosomes
9. process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells
12. each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides during cell division
15. unchecked cell growth
