What in the genetics?!
Across
- 8. The process of stopping a reaction, often used in molecular biology to halt enzyme activity
- 10. The process of inducing mutations within an organism's DNA
- 11. The study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence
- 12. The purine or pyrimidine component of a nucleotide
- 13. A segment of a DNA or RNA molecule containing information coding for a protein or peptide
- 14. The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
- 15. A sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule
Down
- 1. The presence of two or more variants of a particular DNA sequence in a population.
- 2. The process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a DNA or RNA molecule.
- 3. The process of forming a double-stranded nucleic acid from two complementary single strands
- 4. The production of additional copies of a chromosomal sequence, often through polymerase chain reaction (PCR
- 5. The basic building block of nucleic acids, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
- 6. DNA DNA molecules that have been artificially created by combining DNA from different sources.
- 7. One of several alternate forms of a gene occupying a given locus.
- 9. A small, circular piece of DNA found in bacteria that can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA
- 11. An enzyme that cleaves the phosphodiester bonds within a nucleotide chain
