Biology
Across
- 3. Sugar contained in DNA
- 6. When a set of genes become repeated
- 7. The directional growth movement by a plant organ in response to light from one direction
- 8. An organisms appearance resulting from its inherited information
- 9. Elastin, collagen, keratin, and actin are examples of this protein
- 11. The mechanism used by organisms to maintain a water balance
- 13. When a spindle fibre fails during meiosis and one homologous pair is not separated
- 14. This membrane is fully permeable and saturated with water
- 15. What happens when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution
- 16. Cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes
- 17. A mass of undifferentiated plant cells produced during somatic fusion
- 18. The deliberate selection by humans of organisms with useful characteristics
- 21. A form of nuclear division which results in the production of four haploid gametes from one diploid gamete mother cell
- 23. The single set of haploid chromosomes typical of a species
- 24. Plants that have flexible stems that allow them to move with water movements
Down
- 1. This enzyme seals the gene into the bacterial plasmid
- 2. This enzyme cuts the DNA into small sections and cuts open the plasmid
- 4. Provide specific immune response in the form of antibodies
- 5. The 'weeding out' of organisms least well suited to the environment
- 10. Produced from a cross between two genetically dissimilar parents from the same species
- 12. A random change in the structure or amount of an organisms genetic material
- 19. When ions or molecules move against a concentration gradient
- 20. The light independent stage of photosynthesis happens here
- 22. Plants adapted to living in very dry or exposed habitats (e.g desert)
