Genetics

5. The structure found in the nucleus that carries genetic information
6. A permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene
8. Region of DNA that codes for a specific protein
9. The process where a single cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells
10. six The number of chromosomes in a normal human somatic cell
14. A pair of chromosomes with the same genes at the same loci but potentially different alleles
17. The structure where spindle fibres attach on a chromosome

1. A length of DNA wound around proteins in eukaryotic cells
2. The type of cell division that produces gametes
3. A feature or trait resulting from gene expression
4. The process of forming RNA from DNA (You might need to look this one up!)
7. three The number of chromosomes in a human sperm or egg cell
9. The phase of mitosis where chromosomes align in the centre of the cell
11. The nitrogenous base in DNA that pairs with adenine
12. The type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells
13. A version of a gene
15. Molecule that stores genetic information in cells
16. Molecule that transports genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome (You might need to look this one up!)
18. The molecule formed during transcription that carries genetic instructions (You might need to look this one up!)
