Biology Unit 5
Across
- 1. Type of mutation that changes whole secions of a chromosome by adding, deletion, invertion, or moving sections
- 7. Monomer of proteins - made of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base
- 9. Strand of RNA crated during transcription - each 3-letter section is called a codon
- 12. Segment of newly formed DNA on the lagging strand, connected together by ligase during DNA replication
- 15. Macromolecules made of amino acids - used for enzymes, transport, and cell structures
- 17. 3 letter section of mRNA that codes for an amino acid
- 18. Replicating strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving toward helicase
- 20. Refers to DNA and histone proteins that make up chromosomes
Down
- 2. 2nd step of protein synthesis, takes place at a ribosome and uses tRNA molecules to assemble amino acids
- 3. Gene mutation - when a base is added or deleted and changes all amino acids after the mutation
- 4. Gene mutation - when a base is substituted - changes only 1 amino acid
- 5. Single stranded nucleic acid used by cells, has bases A, U, G, and C, types include mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA
- 6. Monomer of a protein - these are carried by tRNA molecules during transcription
- 8. Double stranded nucleic acid that has all genetic material, bases include A, T, G, and C, located in the nucleus
- 10. replicating strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving away from helicase
- 11. Enzyme used to unzip the DNA molecule during DNA replication
- 13. Type of mutation that only affects one gene by subsituting, adding, or deleting bases
- 14. Organelle where proteins are made
- 16. 1st step of protein synthesis, takes place in the nucleus and creates a strand of mRNA
- 19. 3 letter section of tRNA that matches to a codon of mRNA
