Across
- 2. The process involoved in the production of new cells genetically identical with the original cell
- 4. Specific complement of chromosomes present in a cell or an individual
- 7. The death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development
- 11. Any number of organised or specialized structures living within a cell
- 13. The process of cell division that results in the production of new cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell
- 14. Specific segment of DNA carrying an instruction encoded in its base sequence for a specific protein product
- 16. contains four bases, A G C T, they form the major component of chromosomes and contain coded genetic instructions
- 19. The different forms of a particular gene
- 20. Cells of the body other than germline cells
- 21. In the mitotic cell cycle, period of cell growth and DNA synthesis
- 23. Having one copy of each specific chromosome
- 24. Rod-shaped organelles, they are important for cell division and the formation of spindle
- 26. Cell or organism with a membrane-bound nucleus
- 27. The total number of the genes present in a cell or an organism
- 28. Built of amino acidsub-units and linked by peptide bonds to form a chain
Down
- 1. Organisms or cells having two copies of each specific chromosome, having a paired set of chromosomes
- 2. Mitosis stage where chromosomes align around the equator of a spindle (form between cells during mitosis, to which chromosomes become attached)
- 3. Stage of mitosis in which new nuclear membranes form around the separated groups of chromosomes
- 5. Organelle containing RNA that is the major site of protein production in cells
- 6. The control centre of the cell where DNA, the genetic information of your body is kept
- 8. Clusters of microtubes, composed of protein that grow out from the centrioles at opposite ends of the spindle
- 9. Cells or organisms without membrane-bound nucleus
- 10. Cells involved in reproduction
- 12. Structure composed of DNA and protein. Visible in cells during mitosis
- 15. Smallest structural and functional unit of an organism
- 17. located outside of the plasma membrane in plant cells
- 18. The position where the chromatids are held together in a chromosome
- 22. Stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes contract and become visable, the nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate and the spindle forms
- 25. Eggs of a female or sperm of a male
