9. , fertilized egg cell that results from the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum) with a male gamete (sperm).
10. , is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
14. , the union of two gametes.
15. , occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene.
16. , male reproductive cell, produced by most animals.
19. , the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
20. , the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.
