Across
  1. 4. Second phase of mitosis, spindle fibers pull chromosomes to the middle
  2. 5. Plant organelle, site for photosynthesis
  3. 9. Ribose Nucleic Acid, holds genetic information
  4. 11. Type of frameshift mutation in which a nucleotide is removed/deleted
  5. 12. First phase of mitosis, chromatids condense into chromosomes and cellular membrane breaks down
  6. 15. Jelly-like material that fills the cell, gives the cell its shape
  7. 16. Site of protein synthesis
  8. 21. Holds genetic information, nucleotides DNA/RNA
  9. 23. Caused by cancer, masses of cells due to uncontrolled cell division
  10. 25. Third phase of mitosis, spindle fibers pull chromatids to the opposite sides of the cell
  11. 26. Type of point mutation in which one nucleotide is switched out to a different nucleotide
  12. 28. Supports and protects the cell
  13. 30. Holds and protects DNA
  14. 31. Fourth phase of mitosis, nuclear membranes reform around two identical sets of DNA, two nuclei formed.
  15. 34. No ATP required, with concentration gradient, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and diffusion
  16. 35. No immediate symptoms, viral DNA merges with cell DNA, takes longer
  17. 36. Animal process to create ATP energy inputs are outputs of photosynthesis
Down
  1. 1. Site for cellular respiration and ATP production
  2. 2. Needs host cell to reproduce, genetic material surrounded by capsid, no organelles or internal structures, injects genetic material into a host cells
  3. 3. Plant process to create glucose, inputs are outputs of cellular respiration and vice versa
  4. 6. To build a protein from an mRNA template
  5. 7. Immediately take over of the host cell
  6. 8. Controls what enters and leaves the cell
  7. 10. Type of frameshift mutation in which a nucleotide is added
  8. 13. Free-floating DNA, no membrane bound organelles
  9. 14. Replaces thymine in DNA to mRNA transcription
  10. 17. Unregulated/uncontrolled cell growth
  11. 18. Long term energy, makes up phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane), fats
  12. 19. Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, holds genetic code for all living things
  13. 20. Requires ATP, against concentration gradient, endocytosis, exocytosis, and protein pumps
  14. 22. Holds food, water, and waste
  15. 24. Enzymes are substrate specific depends on the active site, creates products to help with cellular processes
  16. 27. Builds hair, muscles, and provides structural support; enzymes, antibodies, amino acids and polypeptide chains.
  17. 29. Quick energy, sugars and starch
  18. 32. Has nucleus and membrane bound organelles
  19. 33. To make an mRNA copy of DNA that can leave the nucleus to get to the ribosomes
