100

This molecule provides the master instructions for how amino acids link together to make proteins.

What is DNA?
100

This process requires two copies of the DNA before it can occur. 

What is cell division?

100
This is a function of cell division, when one cell divides into many and the organism gets bigger as a result
What is growth?
100
DNA condenses itself to make this form before cell division
What is a chromosome?
100
This is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell is growing and preparing for cell division
What is interphase?
200

This substance performs most of the essential cellular functions, and the organelles are made of it. 

What is protein?

200

This organelle protects the DNA and is necessary for cell division to occur.

What is the nucleus?
200
This is the term for an organism that is made of more than one cell
What is multicellular?
200
These important structures in the human body are made of a variety of different tissues, and have a set size and shape, including the heart, lungs, and liver.
What are organs?
200
This structure holds the two identical sister chromatids together to make a chromosome
What is a centromere?
300

These 20 different molecules are the building blocks of protein

What are amino acids?

300
This function of cell division can be seen when skin cells divide to replace cells lost after an injury
What is repair?
300
This phase of mitosis lines the chromosomes up at the middle of the cell
What is metaphase?
400

These 4 different kinds of tiny molecules make up the DNA code which is shared by all living things. 

What are nucleotides?

400

These special organelles made of protein are only used in cell division, and form the spider-web spindle fibres that help cells divide. 

What are centrioles?

400

These tiny changes to the DNA code can result in changed proteins, and are the mechanism for evolution. 

What are mutations?
400
You will be looking at these kinds of cells in the lab next day
What are onion root cells?
500
This is a kind of reproduction (often seen in unicellular animals) in which the offspring are genetically identical to the parent, and uses the mechanism of cell division
What is asexual reproduction?
500

This disease is the result of rapid, uncontrolled cell division.

What is cancer?
500

This is the final stage of mitosis where the cell is physically split in two.

What is cytokinesis?
