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