Biology
Across
- 5. smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, consists of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane
- 6. the region of a chromosome to which the microtubules attach
- 9. any organism whose cells have a cell nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes
- 11. made of proteins and RNA, helps in protein synthesis
- 12. the first phase of mitosis
- 13. a sequence of DNA and RNA which codes for a molecule that has a function
- 15. a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus
- 17. the final phase of cell division
- 18. a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
- 19. multicellular organism that are differentiated or segregated that tin the usual processes of reproduction
- 22. a thread-like structure of a nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells carrying genetic information in the form of genes
- 23. having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
- 25. any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells
- 26. having two sets of chromosomes or double the haploid number of chromosomes in the germ cell
- 27. a mature haploid male or female germ cell
Down
- 1. organelle found in eukaryotic cells
- 2. the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development
- 3. thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, function and reproduction of all known living organisms
- 4. one of the several structures with specialized functions, suspended in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell
- 7. a test to identify and evaluate the size, shape and number of chromosomes in a sample of body cells
- 8. the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life
- 10. they form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
- 12. a molecule composed of polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds
- 13. the complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism
- 14. the third phase of mitosis
- 16. each pair of minute cylindrical organelles near the nucleus in animal cells, involved in the development of spindle fibres in cell division
- 20. a type of cell division that results in four cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell
- 21. wall outside the membrane, has to protect and support the cell
- 24. variant form of a gene
