Across 3. Process of cell division which produces genetically identical daughter cells 4. Process which copies information in DNA into RNA 6. Site of protein synthesis 8. Process which turns the information from nucleotides into the primary structure of a polypeptide 9. Period of interphase when DNA is replicated 10. Separate arms of a chromosome after DNA synthesis 11. Rod shaped bodies of DNA seen in the nucleus during cell division 14. Resting phase of the cell cycle 15. Phase of cell division when chromosomes reach the poles of the cells and the nuclear envelope reforms 16. Three letter word in mRNA that is complementary to the DNA 19. Period of interphase when the cell grows and organelles and other products are produced 20. Division of a cells cytoplasm which takes place concurrently to nuclear division 22. Enzyme which joins adjacent mRNA nucleotides 23. Number of common amino acids 25. Number of "words" in the genetic code 26. Three letter word in DNA that codes for an amino acid

Down 1. Pairs of chromosomes which are the same size and shape, and contain the same genes 2. Structure which connects sister chromatids together 5. Particular portion of a DNA strand that codes for a polypeptide 7. Phase of cell division when centromeres separate and chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell 10. Form of uncoiled DNA in the nucleus when cell is undergoing normal activities 12. Phase of cell division when chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope disappears, and spindle fibers form 13. Phase of cell division when chromosomes line up across the equatorial plane of the cell 17. Period of interphase when final preparations for mitosis occur 18. Complementary to mRNA codon 21. Type of bond which forms between adjacent amino acids 24. Structure which carries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis
