Genetics

2. The scientific study of the principles of heredity and the variation of inherited traits among related organism.
5. the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.
8. the process by which cells and organisms produce other cells and organisms of the some kind
11. new plants develop from the roots stems or leaves of the parent plant.
13. an organism breaks into two or more fragments each of which develops into a new individual.
15. cell prepares to divide by growing
16. fission a single parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

1. third step of cell division mitosis
3. threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell
4. a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production
6. second step of cell division mitosis
7. a new individual develops as a small outgrowth or bud on the parent organism, which then breaks off.
9. An embryo develops from an unfertilised egg cell.
10. first step of cell division mitosis
12. last step of cell division mitosis
14. the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates then producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division.
