Station 4: Mitosis, Meiosis, and Reproduction Crossword

A distinguishing quality or characteristic.
The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
Father of genetics.
A unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristics of the offspring.
The haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete.
The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
A trait that will be expressed.
A trait that will be masked.
The production of offspring by a sexual or asexual process.
Type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes.
Type of reproduction that combines genetic information from two individuals of different genders.
Reproduction from an ovum without fertilization.
A mature haploid male or female germ cell which is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.
Type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division.
Type of asexual reproduction where DNA replication and segregation occur simultaneously "division in half".
Type of asexual reproduction where an organism has the ability to regrow its lost parts.
Type of asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments.
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes.
Containing two complete sets of chromosomes - one from each parent.
Having a single set of unpaired chromosomes.
The material of which the chromosomes of organisms are composed.
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and proteins found in the nucleus of most living cells that carries genetic information in the form of genes.
A double membrane enclosing a cell nucleus and having its outer part continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum.
The resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell.
The first stage of cell division in which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears.
The second phase of mitosis and is the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
The second stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
The stage of cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.
The final phase of cell division in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
The cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of cell division that brings about the separation into two daughter cells.
The type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
The long protein fibers called microtubules that extend from the centrioles and move the chromosomes during Mitosis.
The action involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
The carrier of genetic information which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes.
