Across
- 3. characteristic twisted, ladder-like structure of DNA, formed by two intertwined strands held together by hydrogen bonds between paired nitrogenous bases
- 4. permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism
- 7. phases of the cell cycle that occur during interphase
- 8. having two identical alleles (versions of a gene) for a specific trait
- 9. molecule that carries genetic instructions for the development
- 10. process by which cells create proteins from the genetic information encoded in DNA
- 11. molecule that consists of a sugar, a phosphate group
Down
- 1. the stage of the cell cycle that occurs before mitosis and prepares the cell for division.
- 2. one that masks the expression of another allele (called recessive)
- 4. type of cell division where a single parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells
- 5. type of carbohydrate, specifically monosaccharides
- 6. process where the cytoplasm of a cell divides, resulting in two daughter cells
