  1. 3. to encode multiple proteins.
  2. 5. and RNA polymerase; also refers to the start of translation.
  3. 7. The start of transcription; signaled by the transcription initiation complex formed by the promoter, transcription
  4. 8. Mutation that disrupt the reading frame by insertions or deletions of a non-multiple of three nucleotide bases
  5. 11. The segment of transcription that the further addition of RNA nucleotides; also refers to the process during
  6. 12. Within the ribosome; binds a tRNA with an attached amino acid.
  7. 13. The addition of a string of adenines to the mRNAs 3’-end; signals the termination of translation in eukaryotes.
Down
  1. 1. The process by which introns are removed from pre-mRNA.
  2. 2. of adding additional amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain.
  3. 4. Non-membrane bound organelle; site of protein synthesis.
  4. 6. Process by which pre-mRNA messages can be spliced in several different configurations, allowing a single
  5. 9. Within the ribosome; contains the tRNA that no longer has an attached amino acid.
  6. 10. The process of converting the language of nucleotides (in the mRNA) into the language of amino acids.
