Cell Cycle

Hint 3

Cell _______

Front 4

The accommodation of the very long DNA fiber into a limited space of the nucleus is achieved by the coiling around the beads of histones into repeating subunits. These subunits if the chromosomes are given the name ________.

Back 4

Back 5

Centromere

Front 6

___________ is the portion of the cell cycle in which the chromosomes are invisible under a light microscope because they are not yet condensed.

Condensation

Front 8

__________ is the stage of mitosis characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes in a ring along the inner circumference of the cell.

Back 8

Metaphase

Front 9

The stage of mitosis characterized by the physical separation of the sister chromatids is called __________
