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