  1. 4. The addition of a methyl group to DNA, often leading to gene silencing
  2. 6. The time it takes for a molecule, like mRNA or protein, to break down
  3. 8. DNA sequences that can move within the genome
  4. 10. The deletion or inactivation of a gene in a genome
  5. 11. The process of increasing the number of copies of a particular DNA sequence
  6. 13. The process of removing introns and joining exons in mRNA
  7. 14. DNA regions that increase the transcription of a gene, often far from the gene
Down
  1. 1. A chemical modification of proteins, often histones, that can affect gene expression
  2. 2. Mechanisms that control ribosome movement along mRNA during translation
  3. 3. Changes in the DNA sequence that can lead to altered traits or diseases
  4. 5. Lipid-based molecules that act as hormones to regulate bodily functions
  5. 7. Proteins that help regulate gene transcription by binding to specific DNA sequences
  6. 9. The addition of a phosphate group to a protein, altering its activity
  7. 12. Molecules that increase the rate of transcription by binding to DNA
