- 2. a small fluid-filled bladder sac cyst or vacuole within the body.
- 6. endoplasmic reticulum,proteins that are released, or exported, from the cell are synthesized on the rough ER
- 7. A segment of DNA that contains instructions for a single trait
- 9. apparatus, a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
- 10. A single stranded molecule that aids in the replication of DNA.
- 12. Process in which part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA is copied into a complementary sequence in RNA
- 15. Monomer of nucleic acids that is made up of a 5-carbon sugar a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base
- 16. a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase
- 17. mutation, mutation the shifts the "reading frame: of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide

- 4. Decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain
- 5. A term applied to two molecules that are side by side but run in opposite directions.
- 8. a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence
- 10. DNA, DNA that has been formed artificially by combining constituents from different organisms.
- 11. group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that a complementary to the three bases of a codon of mRNA
- 13. a membrane-bound organelle that contains genetic material (DNA) of eukaryotic organisms.
- 14. enzyme, an enzyme produced chiefly by certain bacteria having the property of cleaving DNA molecules at or near a specific sequence of bases.
- 18. therapy, an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease.
- 22. change in the genetic material of a cell
- 24. mutation, gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed
