  1. 1. A visual representation of all the organisms found in an organism.
  2. 3. Any type of cell from an organism apart from reproductive cells and that reproduces by mitosis.
  3. 7. A specialized sub-unit of a cell that has a particular function.
  4. 9. The cells produced after meiosis that form sperm or egg cells.
  5. 10. The ability cells have to self-destruct.
  6. 14. Clusters of microtubules that grow out from the centrioles at the opposite ends of a spindle.
  7. 16. Any cells or organisms without a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
  8. 17. A process of cell division undertaken by diploid cells, of which as a result 2 daughter cells are produced.
  9. 18. The tight banding found in all chromosomes usually around the centre.
  10. 21. Different forms of a particular gene.
  11. 23. A semi-rigid structure located outside of the plasma (cell) membrane in plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
  12. 24. Twisted and long strands of DNA
  13. 25. A complete set of genetic instructions for a given organism.
  14. 26. An organelle that contains DNA and controls cellular activity.
  15. 28. Refers to a cell that contains 1 set of chromosomes.
  16. 29. Refers to a cell that contains 2 sets of chromosomes.

  1. 2. Stage of mitosis in which new nuclear membranes form around the separated groups of chromosomes.
  2. 4. A segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein.
  3. 5. Stage of mitosis during which chromosomes align around the equator of a spindle
  4. 6. Involved in the formation and transport of lipids and steroid hormones
  5. 8. A macromolecule that is made up of repeating amino acids and that is vital for the body to function properly.
  6. 11. A type of cell division which results in 4 daughter cells being produced.
  7. 12. A substance found in chromosomes and that is responsible for storing the genetic information of a particular organism.
  8. 13. Stage of mitosis in which chromosomes contract and become visible.
  9. 15. A period of cell growth and DNA synthesis during the mitotic cell cycle.
  10. 19. A cellular organelle involved in cellular division.
  11. 20. A type of cell found in gonads,that reproduce by meiosis.
  12. 22. A cell with a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  13. 27. The structural, functional and biological unit of all organisms.
