Across
  1. 6. enzymes that degrade nucleic acids
  2. 7. when genetic information is copied from DNA to form mRNA
  3. 9. this base pairs with adenine in DNA
  4. 10. a nitrogenous base only found in RNA
  5. 15. chain of amino acids
  6. 17. type of replication that DNA goes through with one parental strand and one daughter strand
  7. 19. a mutation in which the gene no longer functions
Down
  1. 1. includes a pentose sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base
  2. 2. humans have 23 pairs of these
  3. 3. enzyme that aids in DNA or RNA synthesis
  4. 4. type of mutation that changes a single base pair
  5. 5. carries hereditary information
  6. 8. the configuration of the two strands in a DNA double helix
  7. 11. alternate form of a gene
  8. 12. cleaves bonds with a nucleic acid
  9. 13. type of mutation that results in a deletion or insertion of a base pair
  10. 14. sequences of mRNA that leave the nucleus
  11. 16. a nitrogenous base that has two rings
  12. 17. type of mutation that shows no change in phenotype
  13. 18. the start codon
