  1. 2. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur
  2. 6. The study of the complete set of DNA (including all of its genes) in a person or other organism.
  3. 8. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
  4. 9. the division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material.
  5. 10. The physical site or location of a specific gene on a chromosome.
  6. 12. a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
  7. 14. a compound found in living tissue as a constituent base of nucleic acids. It is paired with guanine in double-stranded DNA.
  8. 15. something having many related parts that function together as a whole

  1. 1. a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
  2. 3. a compound which is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids. A pyrimidine derivative, it is paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA.
  3. 4. the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes.
  4. 5. The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child.are made up of sequences of DNA and are arranged, one after another, at specific locations on chromosomes in the nucleus of cells.
  5. 7. an organism is its complete set of genetic material\
  6. 11. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
  7. 13. a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.
