Across
- 2. Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
- 8. Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell
- 10. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
- 12. Chromosomes become visible, nuclear envelope dissolves, spindle forms
- 13. two identical chromosomes that split and contain the same genetic material
- 14. A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.
- 15. reproductive cells
- 17. The area of the cell membrane that pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell
- 19. part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
- 21. threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes
Down
- 1. A double membrane across the midline of a dividing plant cell, between which the new cell wall forms during cytokinesis.
- 3. proteins that regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
- 4. any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division
- 5. series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
- 6. After the chromosome separates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.
- 7. (genetics) an organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number
- 9. (genetics) an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes
- 11. period of the cell cycle between cell divisions
- 15. growth
- 16. Cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms
- 18. second growth
- 20. body cells
