  1. 4. Cells that do not contain nuclei, reproduce asexually and use haploid cells
  2. 6. A cell containing only one set of chromosomes (n), examples: sperm and egg
  3. 7. series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
  4. 9. disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
  5. 11. Division of the nucleus. Continuous process that is divided into four phases, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, makes identical body cells
  6. 13. in between period of the cell cycle between cell divisions, includes G1, S and G2
  7. 15. A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably.
  8. 17. division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells plant cells: cell plate and animal cells: cleavage furrow
  9. 18. The first gap, or growth phase and creation of new organelles
  10. 19. phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin, 2 nuclear envelopes form, nucleolus become visible
Down
  1. 1. Cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei, reproduce both asexually and sexually, use both haploid and diploid cells
  2. 2. A cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent example: somatic or body cells
  3. 3. The second growth phase of the cell cycle, consisting of the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs, prepares for M phase
  4. 5. The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated.
  5. 7. one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
  6. 8. granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
  7. 10. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
  8. 12. second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
  9. 14. the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
  10. 16. first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
