Cellular Organelles

2. A different form of a gene is known as an ________
5. The form of cell division that creates gametes
9. cylindrical shaped organelles that assist in cell division
10. A long strand of DNA that contains many genes
13. Also known as DNA, it is the carrier of genetic information
14. Fibre Group of microtubules that moves chromosomes during mitosis or meiosis
15. responsible for the translation of RNA
17. What two chromatids are held together by
19. A visual representation of all the chromosomes found in an organism
21. a rigid structure that is found on the outside of plant cells
23. A molecule manufactured within ribosomes that is very important for cellular activity
26. A species'/organism's complete set of genetic information
27. A structure found within a cell that carry out specialised functions
29. The process of two cells splitting in half and producing two identical cells

1. the building block of life that allows us to carry out our normal functions
3. Cells that contain a membrane bound nucleus and organelles
4. First stage of mitosis. Centrioles start to produce spindle fibres, the nuclear membrane breaks apart and chromosomes are fully formed.
6. A process that a cell undergoes that is usually split into three parts: cell growth, DNA replication and growth and preparation for division
7. Cells that contain 23 chromosomes
8. Cells such as bacteria that don't have a membrane bound nucleus
11. Cells that reproduce by meiosis
12. Cells that reproduce by mitosis
16. Stage of mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
18. The stage where spindle fibres are disassembled, nuclear membranes reform and chromosomes uncoil into chromatids.
20. lots are found within DNA and are responsible for coding different proteins
22. Controlled cell death
24. holds DNA and controls the activity of the cell
25. When all body cells contain 46 chromosomes
28. A reproductive cell that contains a group of haploid chromosomes
