1. a cell is a regular body cell that has 2 sets of chromosomes
2. double - stranded, linear dna molecules are called
3. are sex cells (egg and sperm in animals)
4. a of chromosomes are the same length and contain the same genes in the same location.
5. a cells complete complement of dna is the
6. a cell containing two copies of each chromosome is and is represented as
7. prokaryotic cells may also contain dna, which is not essential for growth.
8. are the functional units of chromosomes which determine specific characteristics/traits by coding for specific protein.
9. each chromosome in a homologous pair can contain forms of a gene.
10. parokaryotic dna is found in the region, instead of within a membrane - bound nucleus as in eukaryotes
11. cells only contain one set of chromosomes.
12. human somatic cells contain chromosomes
13. human gametes contain chromosomes
14. cells contains one, circular, double - stranded dna molecule.
15. since gametes have only one set of chromosomes, they would be called haploid, which is represented as

Explanation:

1. Somatic cells are regular body cells with 2 sets of chromosomes.
2. Double - stranded, linear DNA molecules are chromosomes.
3. Gametes are sex cells (egg and sperm in animals).
4. Homologous pair of chromosomes have the same length and gene location.
5. A cell's complete DNA complement is the genome.
6. A cell with two copies of each chromosome is diploid, represented as 2n.
7. Prokaryotic cells may have plasmid DNA which is non - essential for growth.
8. Genes are the functional units of chromosomes coding for specific proteins.
9. Each chromosome in a homologous pair can have different forms of a gene.
10. Prokaryotic DNA is in the nucleoid region.
11. Haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
12. Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes.
13. Human gametes have 23 chromosomes.
14. Prokaryotic cells have one circular, double - stranded DNA molecule.
15. Gametes are haploid, represented as n.
