Cells

4. acid The carrier of genetic information
8. Alternative forms of a gene that appear by mutation.
9. The programmed death of cells that occurs in multi cellular organisms.
11. The site of biological protein synthesis.
16. “Control centre” of the cell.
17. A haploid cell that is able to form a zygote during sexual reproduction.
18. The second stage of cell division.
19. A cell that contains one set of chromosomes.
20. A single cell organism which does not have a distinct nucleus or any other organelles.
22. Wall Gives the cell protection, its shape, and its structure.
23. A molecule made up of polymers of amino acids.
24. Visual representation of all the chromosomes found in an organism.
26. cell Cells that reproduce by meiosis.
27. A structure within the cell that performs a specialised function.
28. A diploid cell that divides to create four haploid cells.

1. Long strands of coiled DNA that contain genes.
2. An organism that consists of cells where the genetic material is DNA in the form chromosomes in a distinct nucleus.
3. A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
5. Section of a chromosome where the micro-tubules of the spindle attach during cell division.
6. The resting period during the first and second divisions of meiosis
7. The first stage of cell division, where the chromosomes become visible and the nuclear envelope disappears.
10. Final phase of cell division where chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and create two nuclei.
12. fibre Involved in the formation of a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell.
13. Rod shaped organelles important for cell division
14. Genetic material of an organism that consists of DNA.
15. A specific order of nucleotides forming part of the chromosome, which determines our characteristics inherited from our parents.
21. cell Cells that reproduce by mitosis.
25. A parent cell reproduces to create two daughter cells.
