Biology

2. – Green "solar panels" found only in plant cells.
4. – A random "typo" in the genetic sequence.
6. – Having two different letters for a trait, like a hybrid.
8. – A simple, bacteria-like cell with no "rooms" inside.
10. – If the cell were a city, this would be the power plant.
14. – The double-layered gatekeeper of the cell membrane.
16. – The battery pack or "cash" that cells use to get work done.
17. – Waterproof molecules that keep energy stored for the long haul.
18. – Muscles and hair are made of these; they’re built from amino acid chains.
21. – The high-security vault where the cell keeps its DNA.
22. – Pasta and bread are full of these quick-energy providers.
27. – One specific "flavor" of a gene (like brown vs. blue eyes).
28. – The "quiet" gene that only shows up if there are two of them.
29. – Making an RNA copy of a DNA secret message.
30. – Having a matching pair of genes, like two capitals or two lowers.
31. – A single "Lego brick" that can be snapped together to make a polymer.
33. – The green pigment that acts like a light-catching mitt.
34. – What you actually see in the mirror, like freckles or height.
36. – A complex cell with a defined nucleus (like yours!).
37. – A giant molecule made of many repeating smaller units.

1. – An "X-shaped" bundle of tightly wound-up DNA.
3. – The specific "puzzle piece" that an enzyme works on.
5. SELECTION – Nature’s way of deciding who survives and reproduces.
7. – What happens when cells forget how to stop dividing.
9. – When water molecules sneak through a membrane to balance things out.
11. – How cells "breathe" to break down glucose into energy.
12. – The body's way of staying "just right," like a thermostat.
13. – Molecules spreading out from a crowded area to an empty one.
15. – A special cell division that results in half the usual DNA.
18. – The process of turning sunshine and air into sugar.
19. ACID – The category of molecules that hold the blueprint for your entire body.
20. – The three-part unit (sugar, phosphate, base) of DNA.
23. – One cell splitting into two identical twin cells.
24. – A biological helper that speeds things up without getting exhausted.
25. – The "loud" gene that hides the presence of a weaker one.
26. – Turning that RNA message into a physical protein.
27. – A special feature that helps a critter survive its home.
28. – The tiny dots in a cell where protein construction happens.
32. – How populations change over many generations.
35. – The hidden letter code (like Gg) in your DNA.
