Chromosomes and Cell Division

o Chromosomes

o Structures in a cell’s nucleus that contain ___________________

o Gene

o Tiny part of a chromosome that gives a living thing a certain __________

o Tells a cell how to grow and ____________________

o DNA

o Large _____________________ that make up genes
