Molecules in a cell that contain genetic material

A pair of homologous chromosomes

A state of not having enough water inside the body

Tissue that is made up or nerve cells called neurons.

Stage where copied chromosomes line up along the centre of the cell

Occurs at the beginning of meiosis where the chromosomes exchange gene segments.

Serious medical condition in which body temperature is abnormally low.

System that provides support for the body, to protect dedicate internal organs, and to provide attachment sites to for the organs.

A component of DNA that forms rungs in the DNA structure

Male and female gametes combine to restore the doubled cell chromosome number to form a zygote, then an embryo and then an offspring.

Mechanisms that resist and regulate a change in the system.

Systems that destroy and remove invading microbes and viruses from the body. Also removed fat and excess fluids from the blood.

The period in the cell cycle during which the cell grows, matures and duplicates genetic information

Phase where centromeres divide and the single stranded chromosomes move away from each other toward opposite poles.

A sensor, an effector, and an integrator (control center) (brain)

Blood vessel that has 3 types of tissues (epithelial, connective and muscle) which together make blood circulation possible.

A protein that facilities a specific chemical reaction in the body

Four gametes each containing half thengentic material of the parent

Something located in the brain and links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland.

System that relays electrical signs through the body, controls all other systems and makes thought and memory possible.
