1.
a series of events that take place in a cell
2.
during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division
3.
the initial stage of the cell cycle phase called interphase
4.
the phase of the cell cycle when a cell grows and prepares for cell division
5.
the process by which a cell splits into two identical or similar daughter cells
6.
a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell
7.
the first stage of mitosis
8.
a stage of cell division when chromosomes condense and line up in the middle of a cell
9.
the stage of mitosis when replicated chromosomes are separated and moved to opposite ends of a cell
10.
the final stage of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis
11.
the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm of a single cell is physically divided into two separate daughter cells
12.
identical copies of a chromosome that are joined together by a centromere
13.
a constricted region of a chromosome that connects sister chromatids and helps separate DNA during cell division
14.
an organelle that helps cells divide, or make copies of themselves
15.
They happen when normal cells become cancerous cells that multiply and spread
16.
an abnormal growth of tissue in the body that can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign)
17.
proteins that regulate the cell cycle by binding to cyclin-dependent kinases
18.
the process by which cells increase in size and mass
19.
the process of making two identical copies of DNA from one original DNA molecule
20.
refers to the "interphase" stage of the cell cycle, where a cell grows
21.
elongated cells that can be found in both healthy tissue and tumors
22.
the first stage of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
23.
the stage of the cell cycle when DNA is replicated
24.
the flow of two phases of matter, or to a type of electrical power distribution
