- 38. DNA + histones = ________
- 40. molecules attach to the separate strands at opposite ends of the split
- 42. regulation may also occur at the point of __________ instead of transcription
- 44. DNA molecule created when DNA polymerase attached complementary nucleotides as it moves along the template strands
- 45. the de3coding of the mRNA message to make a polypeptide chain (which later forms a protein)
- 46. make up the ribosomes along with proteins; translates the mRNA to assemble proteins
- 48. structures controlled by these gens are considered what
- 52. site where ********** molecules attach the separate strands at opposite end of the split
- 53. regulatory regions
- 54. that involves changes that affect an entire chromosome

- 58. mutations are what creates the variation upon which _______________ acts.
Down
- 1. set of 3 consecutive nucleotides on mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid
- 2. when an organism has extra sets of chromosomes, making them triploid or tetraploid
- 3. control differentiation of cells and tissues in the embryo
- 4. _________ molecules of RNA polymerase can be transcribing the same gene at the same time

- 8. the product of transcription
- 9. changes to genetic material
- 10. _________ protein is attracted to lactose and when this sugar is present, it binds with the __________ causing it to detach from the O region and allows TNA polymerase to continue transcribing
