How Cells Reproduce Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• interphase : in a eukaryotic cell cycle, the interval between mitotic divisions when a cell grows, roughly doubles the number of its cytoplasmic components and replicates its dna
• meiosis : a nuclear division mechanism that halves the chromosome number, is the process inherent to sexual reproduction that gives rise to new combinations of alleles in offspring
• benign : neoplasms such as warts that are not usually dangerous
• stem : a few normal cells in an adult retain the ability to divide indefinitely, these are called _ cells
• neoplasm : an accumulation of abnormally dividing cells
• tumor : a neoplasm that forms a lump
• alleles : different forms of the same gene
• telo phase : stage of mitosis during which chromosomes arrive at opposite ends of cell. two new nuclei form as the chromosomes soon loosen
• ana phase : stage of mitosis during which sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite spindle poles
• cycle : the collective series of intervals and events of a cell's life, from the time it forms until it divides is the cell _
• zygote : diploid cell that forms when two gametes fuse
• mitosis : a nuclear division mechanism that maintains the chromosome number
• sexual : is the reproduction process in which offspring arise from two parents and inherit genes from both
• furrow : in a dividing animal cell, the indentation where cytoplasmic division will occur is called a cleavage _
• asexual : a reproduction mode by which offspring are produced by one parent only
• atp : energy from _ fuels cell division
• haploid : having one of each type of chromosome characteristic of the species
• spindle : temporary structure that moves chromosome during nuclear division; consists of microtubules
• gametes : mature, haploid reproductive cell; egg or sperm
• proteins : in g2 of inter phase cells make the _ that will carry out division
• pro phase : stage of mitosis during which chromosomes condense and become attached to a newly forming spindle
• metabolic : in g1 of interphase cells go about their _ business
• malignant : neoplasm that gets progressively worse, and is dangerous to health
• vesicles : plant cells form a set of short microtubules known as _ on either side of the future plane of division which then fuse into a plate
• cancer : disease that occurs when a malignant neoplasm physically and functionally damages body tissues
