Across
  1. 2. Removal of introns, creates unique mRNA
  2. 8. DNA changes that alter gene function or expression
  3. 9. Adds acetyl groups to histone, increasing transcription
  4. 12. Proteins that turn genes on or off by binding DNA
  5. 13. Entire gene removed stopping its expression
  6. 14. Hormones that enter cells and activate gene expression
Down
  1. 1. How fast mRNA and proteins are broken down
  2. 3. Blocks ribosomes from binding mRNA, stopping translation
  3. 4. Proteins that bind DNA to increase transcription
  4. 5. Adds methyl groups to DNA, silencing the gene
  5. 6. More copies of a gene, increasing product made
  6. 7. Mobile DNA that disrupts or changes gene expression
  7. 10. Adds phosphate to translation proteins, changing activity
  8. 11. DNA regions that boost transcription when activators bind
