Chapters 25 to 29
Across
- 2. Level of structure that contains the sequences of nucleotides in nucleic acids
- 4. Carbohydrate of the blood that catabolizes into precursors of the citric acid cycle
- 6. The transfer of genetic information from DNA by the formation of mRNA
- 8. The interpretation of the codons in mRNA as amino acids in a peptide
- 9. The process of breaking big molecules down into smaller ones
- 12. The product of oxidative deamination that has to be disposed of by the urea cycle
- 13. NAD and FAD are two
- 17. Produced in the nucleus from DNA to carry the genetic information to the ribosomes for the construction of a protein
- 20. The anabolic pathway that makes glucose from amino acids, lactate, and citric acid cycle intermediates that can convert to pyruvate
- 22. The orientation of DNA strands in its secondary structure
- 23. Complementary pair in DNA
- 24. Phosphate + Sugar + Base
- 25. A mutation that inserts or deletes a base in a DNA sequence
