Required Terms for Mitosis Crossword Puzzle
Cell cycle: A series of events that takes place in a cell where it grows and divides.
Mitosis: A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells which end up having the same number of chromosomes.
Cytokinesis: The of cell division that divides the cytoplasm of a parent cell into two daughter cells.
Chromosome: A threadlike structure that contains genetic material.
DNA: A carrier of genetic material in a living thing.
Histone: A group of protein found in chromatin.
Chromatin: The material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria are created.
Chromatid: A half of a duplicated chromosome.
Centromere: The area where sister chromatids are held together at.
Daughter cell: Either of the two cells that come from cell division and are identical to the parent cell.
Spindle fibers: Forms a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
Cell plate: A plate that develops at the midpoint between the two groups of chromosomes in a dividing cell.
Somatic cells: Any cell of the body except sperm or egg cells.
Sex cells: A cell responsible for transmitting DNA to the next generation.
Growth factors: proteins that bind to receptors on the cell surface
Cell Cycle Regulation: A process that controls the series of events where a cell goes through the cell cycle.
Kinases: An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a specified molecule
Cyclins: Any of a number of proteins associated with the cycle of cell division that are thought to initiate certain processes of mitosis.
Apoptosis: The death of cells that occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development.
Cancer: A disease caused by an abnormal division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.
Tumor: A swelling part of the body that results from an abnormal growth of tissue.

Organ Systems: A group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions
Cell differentiation: The process in which a cell becomes specialized in order to perform a specific function.
Stem cells: a simple cell in the body that is able to develop into any one of various kinds of cells
Totipotent: (of a stem cell) able to give rise to any cell type or a complete embryo.
Pluripotent: capable of giving rise to several different cell types.
Multipotent: Cells that can develop into more than one cell type: but are more limited than pluripotent cells
Meiosis: a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells which each have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell
Gametes: a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.
Zygote: a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes
Haploid number: The number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells
Homologous chromosomes: A pair of chromosomes that contain the same gene sequences: each derived from one parent
Spermatogenesis: the production or development of mature spermatozoa
Oogenesis: the production or development of an ovum.
