Biology Module #7

3. A cell that has only one representative of each chromosome pair.
6. The science that studies how characteristics get passed from parent to offspring.
8. A non-cellular infectious agent that has two characteristics: 1) It has genetic material (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat. 2) It cannot reproduce on its own.
11. The RNA that performs transcription.
13. Specialized proteins that aid in destroying infectious agents.
14. (n)The number of homologous pairs in a diploid cell.
15. The time interval between cellular reproduction.
16. The region that joins two sister chromatids.
17. The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to their homologous pairs.
19. A process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells.
20. The factors in a person's life that are determined by the quality of his or her relationship with God.
21. A cell with chromosomes that come in homologous pairs.
22. DNA coiled around and supported by proteins, found in the nucleus of a cell.

1. The process by which a diploid (2n) cell forms gametes (n).
2. Haploid cells (n) produced by diploid cells (2n) for the purpose of sexual reproduction.
4. Those "nonbiological" factors that are involved in a person's surroundings such as the nature of the person's parents, the person's friends, and the person's behavioral choices.
5. A three-nucleotide base sequence on RNA.
7. The general guideline of traits determined by a person's DNA.
9. (2n)The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell.
10. A cell ready to begin reproduction, containing duplicated DNA and centrioles.
12. A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of a protein, thereby causing a trait.
18. A weakened or inactive version of a pathogen that stimulates the body's production of antibodies which can help in destroying the pathogen.
22. A sequence of three nucleotide bases on mRNA that refers to a specific amino acid.
