  1. 4. contains information that has been copied from DNA
  2. 5. forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA
  3. 6. A sequence of three consecutive nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule that codes for a specific amino acid
  4. 9. the process by which a cell makes proteins using the genetic information carried in messenger RNA
  5. 12. consist of a single muscle cell
  6. 13. the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes
  7. 14. the prototype of a molecular motor—a protein that converts chemical energy in the form of ATP to mechanical energy, thus generating force and movement
  8. 15. cytoplasmic protein that links the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers to the extracellular matrix of the overall muscle tissue.
  9. 17. an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell
  10. 20. a highly abundant intracellular protein present in all eukaryotic cells and has a pivotal role in muscle contraction as well as in cell movements

  1. 1. The process by which a gene gets turned on in a cell to make RNA and proteins
  2. 2. nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA
  3. 3. the process in which cells make proteins
  4. 7. The molecule inside cells that contains the genetic information responsible for the development and function of an organism
  5. 8. long contractile fibres, groups of which run parallel to each other on the long axis of the myocytes
  6. 10. the process by which a cell makes an RNA copy of a piece of DNA
  7. 11. a substance that can accept hydrogen ions in water and can neutralize an acid
  8. 15. caused by mutations in the gene that encodes the 427-kDa cytoskeletal protein dystrophin
  9. 16. a term used to describe the physical structure of DNA
  10. 18. proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions
  11. 19. molecules that combine to form proteins
