Across
- 3. cell divides its nucleus, resulting in two identical daughter cells
- 6. a heritable change in the DNA sequence of an organism, potentially leading to altered traits or characteristics
- 8. fundamental building block of nucleic acids
- 11. when you switch adenine to thymine and cytosine to guanine
- 12. important component of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, DNA, RNA, and proteins
- 18. pairing of nitrogenous bases (A with T, and C with G)
- 20. 3rd DNA base, pairs with adenine
- 22. the third subphase of interphase

- 26. the initial phase of interphase
Down
- 1. Dna structure
- 2. the feature that will overpower the recessive one
- 4. involves cells creating proteins using genetic information encoded in DNA through two main stages: transcription and translation.
- 5. an individual having two identical alleles of a particular gene
- 7. the stage where chromosomes align at the center of the cell
- 9. genes
- 10. crosses involving 2 or 4 traits
- 13. two different alleles of a gene for a particular trait
- 14. paired with thymine
- 15. physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells
- 16. the stage in mitosis and meiosis where sister chromatids (in mitosis) or homologous chromosomes (in meiosis) separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell
- 17. phase of cell cycle when cell grows,replicates,and prepares for cell division.
- 18. pairs with guanine
- 19. the final stage of cell division where the chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell
- 21. first stage of cell division
- 22. Dna base that pairs with cytosine
