Genetics
Across
- 4. an alteration in DNA structure that is capable of causing cellular injury and reduces viability or reproductive fitness of the organism
- 5. the manual processing of voice reports dictated by physicians and other healthcare professionals into text format.
- 6. the nucleotide triplets of DNA and RNA molecules that carry genetic information in living cells.
- 9. biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.
- 10. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
- 12. the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism.
- 13. the genetic heritage passed down by our biological parents
- 14. threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 15. the process in which two complementary single-stranded DNA and/or RNA molecules bond together to form a double-stranded molecule
- 16. a complex organic substance present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.
Down
- 1. he changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA
- 2. a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism
- 3. a self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes
- 7. ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins
- 8. a term used to describe the physical structure of DNA.
- 11. the study of all of the genetic material in an organism
