Genetics
Across
- 3. threadlike structure of DNA, consisting of multiple genes found in the nucleus
- 4. different versions of genes
- 5. converting DNA to RNA
- 10. single stranded genetic information with AUCG bases
- 11. a sequence (2 or more) DNA molecules that determine which proteins are made in the body
- 13. double stranded genetic information that is the instructions for protein
- 14. the DNA of one organism that includes genes from another organism
- 15. turning off (silencing) or turning on (activating) certain genes/DNA
- 18. traits/characteristics we can see
- 19. an accidental change in 1+ DNA base
- 20. a technology that separates DNA fragments by size to determine relatedness
Down
- 1. using enzymes to remove out DNA and transfer that DNA into another organism
- 2. the process of choosing parents with desirable traits and making them reproduce in hopes the offspring will have the desirable trait
- 6. building blocks that make protein
- 7. building blocks that make DNA (nucleotide
- 8. information that can be passed down/inherited from parents
- 9. matching RNA with amino acids to make a protein
- 12. the types of genes you have
- 16. the two step process of using genetic molecules to assemble a biomolecule to determine your traits
- 17. changing the DNA of an organism by altering the sequences of bases
