Across
- 1. always pairs with cytosine
- 3. having one set of genes
- 7. converting the DNA code into a protein
- 8. new chromosomes begin to uncoil, new nuclear membranes form and 2 new nuclei form
- 10. each section of DNA that codes for a unique protein
- 11. the process that cells use to make RNA copies of a gene
- 12. always pairs with thymine
- 14. chromosomes line up in the middle of each cell
- 15. always pairs with adenine
- 16. a sperm or egg cell
- 18. process of the cell cycle that ensures that each new daughter cell producxed has the same number & kinds of genes as the parent cell
- 19. matches codon on the mRNA
- 20. the process that reduces by half the amount of DNA in an egg or sperm cell
Down
- 2. sister chromatid pairs divide into separate chromosomes
- 4. first phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows and carries out its normal function
- 5. diploid cell that results from fertilization
- 6. always pairs with guanine
- 9. acids the molecules used to build proteins
- 13. subunits of the long DNA molecule that consist of a sugar, phosphate and base
- 15. the DNA copying process
- 17. final stage of the cell cycle
