- 12. Small organelles made up of RNA and protiens
- 13. Programmed cell death
- 16. Cells found in the gonads who orginianally start as diploid but eventually become four cells that ae haploid and are all genetically different
- 17. fibre Microtubules composed of the protien actin which pulls sister chromatids to the opposite poles of the spindle
- 18. A small organelle located in animal cells which is involved in the development of spindle fibres

- 24. Refers to all the cells in a living organism excluding the reproductive cells
- 25. A visual representation of all the chromosomes found in an organism
- 26. An organism or cell without a membrane bound nucleus and membrane bound organelles
- 27. Built of hundreds or thousands of amino acids which are attached together in long chains
