Across
  1. 4. Diagram that shows the lengths of fragments between restriction sites in the strand of DNA
  2. 7. In this mutation, a nucleotide is added or deleted and results in the misreading of the code during translation because of a change in the reading frame
  3. 8. A nucleotide sequence that is part of a gene and that is transcribed from DNA into mRNA but not translated into amino acids
  4. 9. A change in the structure or amount of the genetic material of an organism
  5. 10. A type of enzyme that cuts double stranded DNA into fragments by recognizing specific nucleotide sequences and cutting DNA at those sequences.
Down
  1. 1. A nucleotide sequence on a DNA molecule to which an RNA polymerase molecule binds, which initiates the transcription of a specific gene
  2. 2. Method of separating various lengths of DNA strands by applying an electrical current to a gel
  3. 3. Agent that can induce or increase the frequency of mutation in organisms
  4. 5. A unit of adjacent genes that consists of functionally related structural genes and their associated regulatory genes; common in prokaryotes and phages
  5. 6. This type of mutation in which only one nucleotide or nitrogenous base in a gene is changed
  6. 11. One of several non adjacent nucleotide sequences that are part of one gene and that are transcribed, joined together, and then translated
