Genetics
Across
- 7. the process of duplicating or producing an exact copy of a polynucleotide strand such as DNA
- 9. pyrimidine base that is a component of DNA and RNA that binds with Guanine
- 11. process by which genes coded information is converted into structures present and operating in a cell
- 12. the genetic constitution of an individual organism
- 13. passing on of traits from parents to their offspring
- 14. unit of heredity which is transferred from parent to offspring
- 15. purine base that is a component of DNA and RNA that binds with Thymine or Uracil
Down
- 1. pyrimidine base that is a component of RNA that binds with Adenine
- 2. a structure in all living cells that consists of a single molecule of DNA bonded to various proteins that carries the genes determining heredity.
- 3. pyrimidine base that is a component of DNA that binds with Adenine
- 4. is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA)
- 5. cell duplication where the parent cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells
- 6. purine base that is a component of DNA and RNA that binds with Cytosine
- 8. physical and psychological characteristics of an organism from both genetics and environment
- 10. is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA)
