it is a structure in the nucleus that contains hereditary material. 

• chromosome
• meiosis
• zygote

a process where the nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei. 

• haploid
• mitosis
• gene

the joining of an egg and sperm. 

• heredity
• diploid
• fertilization

a new organism is produced from one organism. 

• zygote
• mutation
• asexual reproduction

this is part of our hereditary material called deoxyribonucleic acid

• DNA
• haploid
• alleles

this is when cells have pairs of similar chromosomes

• meiosis

• diploid

• gene

this process produces haploid sex cells

• diploid
• heredity
• meiosis

a new organism is produced from two organisms

• diploid
• sexual reproduction
• heredity

this is when cells do NOT have paired chromosomes (half)

• haploid
• mutation
• chromosome

they carry codes for making proteins from the nucleus to the ribosomes, called Ribonucleic acid

• zygote
• RNA
• gene
