Across
- 3. A cell's total hereditary information made up of one or more chromosomes
- 5. The process involving molecules that move into open spaces from areas of high concentration to low concentration
- 6. Cellular process in which the mRNA created from transcription is used to code for specific amino acids that build up into proteins
- 8. The smallest unit of all life
- 10. Stage of the cell cycle when two nuclei are formed, spindle fibers disappear, and the nuclear envelopes reappear
- 11. A genotype that indicates the presence of both a dominant and recessive allele
- 15. A genotype that indicates the presence of 2 of the same allele, either dominant or recessive
- 16. Stage of the cell cycle when the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell
- 17. The protein coat of a virus which can come in different sizes or sometimes may have an envelope
- 19. Genetic code that is used to copy down DNA instructions to create polypeptides
- 20. Cellular process in which DNA sequences are used to create strands of mRNA
- 21. The process of sexual reproduction in which two parents create unique offspring
Down
- 1. Plant pigment that reflects green and aids a plant during photosynthesis
- 2. A cellular process that breaks down glucose and oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide and ATP
- 4. Type of cell that contains a nucleus and many membrane bound organelles
- 7. An RNA virus which works backwards, using viral RNA to reverse transcribe into viral DNA before replicating and creating viral proteins
- 9. The chemical processes that an organism uses to manage its energy and materials
- 12. Stage of the cell cycle when the nuclear membrane breaks down and spindle fibers begin to form
- 13. The cellular process of using light, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen
- 14. Stage of the cell cycle when spindle fibers shorten and pull the sister chromatids apart
- 18. An agent that increases the rate of a reaction without getting used up itself
