Cells

6. The site of biological protein synthesis
7. Section of a chromosome where the micro-tubules of the spindle attach during cell division
9. The first stage of cell division, where the chromosomes become visible and the nucleus envelope disappears
11. Long strands of coiled DNA that contains genes
12. The resting period during the first and second divisions of meiosis
15. An organism that consists of cells where the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes in a distinct nucleus
16. The carrier of genetic information
18. A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
20. Gives the cell protection, its shape, and its structure
23. The second stage of cell division
25. Cells that reproduce by mitosis
26. "control centre" of the cell
27. A structure within the cell that performs a specialised function
28. Alternative forms of a gene that appear by mutation

1. Final phase of cell division where chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and create two nuclei
2. A specific order f nucleotides forming part of the chromosome, which determines our characteristics inherited from our parents
3. A diploid cell that divides to create four haploid cells
4. A single cell organism that does not have a distinct nucleus or any other organelles
5. Cells that reproduce by meiosis
8. A haploid cell that is able to form a zygote during sexual reproduction
10. The programmed death of cells hat occurs in multi cellular organisms
13. Involved in the formation of a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
14. Visual representation of all the chromosomes found in an organism
17. Genetic materialof an organism that consists of DNA
19. A molecule made up of polymers of amino acids
21. A cell that contains one set of chromosomes
22. Rod shaped organelles important for cell division
24. A parent cell reproduces to create two daughter cells
