2. a type of cell division where gametes are made.
5. a reproductive cell of an animal or plant.
6. programmed cell death.
8. a molecule that contains the genetic code that is unique to an organism.
10. a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides.
14. the smallest unit that can live on its own and makes up all living organisms and the tissues of their bodies.
15. structure that holds together two chromatids.
16. an individuals complete set of chromosomes
18. the presence of one complete set of chromosomes in an organism's cell.
19. first step of PMAT, chromosomes begin to condense.

1. a mixture of DNA and other proteins that forms chromosomes.
3. the stage of the cell cycle that the cell spends the most time in.
4. division of the cytoplasm, completely separating the two daughter cells.
7. second step of PMAT, chromosomes line up in the middle.
9. the presence of two complete sets of chromosomes in an organism's cells.
10. a disease caused by the uncontrollable division of cells.
11. condensed dna
12. a type of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells.
13. fourth step of PMAT,the cells form new nuclear membranes and prepare to become separate cells.
17. third step of PMAT, chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
