Across
- 3. What the DNA double-helix has to be before replication and transcription can begin
- 4. DNA and RNA are these of nucleic acids
- 9. Adds nucleotides to the chain that will be RNA
- 10. A specific type of RNA that is involved in translation and helps the ribosomes
- 11. The little pieces that make up RNA and DNA
- 14. The process of DNA making RNA and RNA making protein
- 16. The rules that state adenine goes with thymine and uracil, and cytosine goes with guanine
- 17. The process where several adenines get attached to the end of an RNA strand
- 18. The sugar component of DNA

Down
- 1. The type of RNA that functions as RNA, but doesn't get turned into protein
- 2. The structure of DNA
- 5. When the cell makes an RNA copy of the DNA information
- 6. This, and thymine, can be paired with adenine
- 7. A protein that ensures RNA is produced at the right pace
- 8. The type of RNA that eventually gets made into protein
- 12. The type of bond that holds together the nucleic acids that make up DNA and RNA
- 13. The sections of nucleotides that remain in RNA
- 15. The sugar component of RNA
