Anatomy

4. Loose formation of DNA, found in the nucleus
6. A fundamental, permanent error in the base sequence of DNA that results in an altered or non-functional genetic message
10. In pre-mRNA, excised before the message is complete
11. Double Helix structure that contains genetic information
13. Pinched region on a chromosome, where spindle fibers attach during mitosis
15. A biological function of copying and decoding to construct functional polypeptide chains
17. Helps translate mRNA into proteins
18. The DNA partner that matched the RNA transcription
20. The RNA adapter molecule responsible for carrying and dropping off the correct amino acid
21. The decoding process that takes nucleic acids and converts them into a sequence of amino acids

1. The large enzyme machine that creates new RNA molecules
2. Sequence of nucleotides where the transcription enzyme works
3. Visible during mitosis, highly condensed X shaped structures
5. The synthesis process that uses a segment of DNA as a guide to produce a complementary RNA strand
7. Cellular organelle that form peptide bonds between amino acids
8. DNA base pairs that unwind for transcription
9. Protein structures that help the long DNA strands to organize into coils
12. Three messenger sequence that is interpreted to mean a specific amino acid function
14. Temporary RNA structure that carries the proteins "recipe" from the nucleus
16. The segments of an RNA transcript that are combined to form the finale protein-building message
19. The single DNA strand that is physically read and copied during DNA transcription
22. The nucleotide structure on the tRNA that ensures a precise match with the mRNA sequence
