Explanation:

Each term is matched to its corresponding definition based on core cell reproduction and genetics terminology.

Answer:

1. DNA - Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Contains information for an organism's growth and functions.
2. MITOSIS - The phase of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides.
3. CHROMOSOMES - The physical structure in a cell that contains the cell's DNA (genetic material).
4. MEIOSIS - A part of sexual reproduction in which cells divide to form sperm and eggs.
5. DIPLOID - Complete number of chromosomes (2n) in daughter cells (normal cells)
6. ANAPHASE - Chromosomes are pulled towards the poles of the cell.
7. HAPLOID - Half number of chromosomes (n) in meiosis (sperm and egg).
8. GENOME - All the DNA of an organism including its genes.
9. TELOPHASE - Chromosomes move to the opposite ends of the cell and 2 nuclei are formed.
10. 23 - Number of chromosomes in egg and sperm.
11. METAPHASE - Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
12. 23 - Number of chromosomes in egg and sperm.
13. CYTOKINESIS - Division of the cytoplasm (2 cells are formed) at the end of mitosis.
14. CELL CYCLE - G1, S phase, G2 and mitosis make the
15. PROPHASE - Chromosomes are visible, nuclear membrane disappear, spindles form And centrioles start moving to the poles.
