  1. 2. wall A semi-rigid structure located outside of the plasma (cell) membrane in plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
  2. 8. An organelle that contains DNA and controls cellular activity.
  3. 10. Refers to a cell that contains 2 sets of chromosomes.
  4. 12. The ability cells have to self-destruct.
  5. 13. cell Any cell of an organism apart from reproductive cells and that reproduces by mitosis.
  6. 16. A complete set of genetic instructions for a given organism
  7. 17. Twisted and long strands of DNA
  8. 20. acid A substance found in chromosomes and that is responsible for storing the genetic information of a particular organism.
  9. 22. Stage of mitosis during which chromosomes align around the equator of a spindle
  10. 23. A macromolecule that is made up of repeating amino acids and that is vital for the body to function properly.
  11. 25. A cell with a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  12. 26. A segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein
  13. 27. cell Cells found in gonads and that reproduce by meiosis.
  14. 28. A process of cell division undertaken by diploid cells, of which as a result 2 daughter cells are produced.
Down
  1. 1. Different forms of a particular gene.
  2. 3. A type of cell division which results in 4 daughter cells being produced.
  3. 4. A specialized sub-unit of a cell that has a particular function.
  4. 5. Stage of mitosis in which chromosomes contract and become visible.
  5. 6. Stage of mitosis in which new nuclear membranes form around the separated groups of chromosomes.
  6. 7. Fibre Clusters of microtubules that grow out from the centrioles at the opposite ends of a spindle.
  7. 9. The tight banding found in all chromosomes usually around the centre.
  8. 11. A period of cell growth and DNA synthesis during the mitotic cell cycle.
  9. 14. Any cells or organisms without a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
  10. 15. A visual representation of all the organisms found in an organism.
  11. 18. An organelle containing RNA that is the major site of protein production in cells.
  12. 19. A cellular organelle involved in cellular division
  13. 21. The cells produced after meiosis that form sperm or egg cells.
  14. 24. Refers to a cell that contains 1 set of chromosomes.
