Across
- 1. cells that have 2 copies of each other, easily seen in a karyotype
- 4. tightly wound strands of DNA, located in the nucleus
- 7. the line up of homologous chromosomes in a specific order
- 8. involved in the creation of spindle fibres in cell division
- 13. the name for any body cell that isn't a reproductive cell
- 15. a type of cell that does not have membrane bound organelles
- 17. programmed cell death
- 18. second last stage of cell division, the chromosomes are lined up allowing each daughter cell to get one copy of the chromosome
- 19. the smallest structural unit of an organism
- 20. results in 2 daughter cells that are somatic
- 21. important in cell division, allowing the cell to split equally
- 22. the total set of all the genes present in a cell or organism
- 23. a type of cell that has a membrane bound nucleus
- 25. located at the centre of a cell, holds DNA
- 26. a mature germ cell
- 27. cells that have only one copy of themselves, eg. X or Y chromosomes
Down
- 2. the instruction code to all life, found in the nucleus
- 3. the place in which chromosome's chromatids are held together
- 5. the small organs found in cells
- 6. only found in plants, semi-rigid, found next to the cell membrane
- 9. the second stage of cell division, the cell starts to show signs or splitting as the centrioles move to either sides of the cell
- 10. the final phase of cell division
- 11. made up of amino acids and serve various kinds of jobs within and out of cells, created on ribosomes
- 12. the name for all reproductive cells
- 14. the first phase of cell division, where cells spend most of their time, normal phase
- 16. organelle containing RNA, majority of protein production takes place in this site
- 17. two are more different forms of a gene, found in the same place on a chromosome
- 18. results in 4 daughter cells that are reproductive cells
- 24. a hereditary characteristic passed from parent to offspring that may determine something about said offspring
