3. One of a pair of chromosomes duplicated during
the cell cycle. [CHROMATID]
4. All eukaryotic sells other than sex cells.
[SOMATICCELLS]

of the cell nucleus. Sexual cell reproduction.
[MEIOSIS]

genes and the same structure as one another.

contains DNA. Each species has a set number of
these in pairs. [CHROMOSOME]
9. A type of cell division in eukaryotic cells by which
two genetically identical daughter cells are
produced from one parent cell with no change in
chromosome number. Asexual cell reproduction.
