Down
- 1. the phase in mitosis where chromosomes line up at the cell's equator
- 4. The component of nucleotide that helps for the DNA or RNA backbone
- 5. A stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
- 7. A type of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
- 8. Deoxyribonucleic acid/Ribonucleic acid
- 9. Changes in the DNA sequence that can lead to genetic variation or diseases
- 10. refers to an allele that expresses its phenotype over a recessive trait
- 11. involves one trait/involves two traits
- 15. Refers to an allele that is masked by a dominant allele
