Across
- 5. - stage in the cell cycle where a cell grows and prepares for division
- 7. - the mating of two organisms that are heterozygous for the same two traits
- 8. - first stage of cell division, the nucleus condenses into visible chromosomes
- 10. - structural component of DNA
- 12. - Genetic information
- 13. - phase where chromosomes align along the middle of the cell
- 15. - masked by a dominant allele
- 16. - two structures fit together
- 19. - process of creating protein molecules
- 22. - an individual that has two different alleles
- 23. - gene's DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) to make an RNA molecule
- 24. - when a trait appears more over the other
- 27. - an individual that has two identical alleles
Down
- 1. - cell performs its normal functions, grows, and prepares for cell division
- 2. - offspring of a cross between two parents that differ in only one trait
- 3. - single parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells
- 4. - change in the DNA sequence, leading to alterations in the genetic material
- 5. - pairs with cytosine
- 6. - pairs with thymine
- 9. - where chromosomes are separated and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell by spindle fibers
- 11. - shape of a double-stranded DNA molecule
- 14. - deoxyribose
- 17. - compound containing phosphorus
- 18. - containing nitrogen that form the building blocks of the nucleic acid
- 20. - cell uses the information carried by mRNA molecule to build a protein
- 21. - division of the cytoplasm of a cell into two daughter cells
- 23. - pairs with adenine
- 25. - chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed
- 26. - pairs with guanine
- 28. - the first stage of interphase
