Across
- 3. Strand that receives 1 RNA primer. It is continuously extended from the primer by a DNA polymerase.
- 4. Fragments from the lagging strand
- 6. The 5' to 3' direction of one strand runs counter to the 5' to 3' direction of the other strand.
- 7. Specialized form of RNA polymerase that synthesizes a short RNA sequence needed to start DNA replication
- 11. Is required to link the sugar-phosphate backbone between two adjacent Okazaki fragments.
- 14. DNA replication is said to be this because each of the 2 daughter cell molecules will have one old parental strand and one newly synthesised strand.
- 16. Synthesizes a new DNA strand by matching existing nucleotides with complimentary ones
- 17. _______ principal shows that a change in genotype and phenotype can be due to assimilation of foreign DNA
- 19. Separates hydrogen bonds between the DNA strands (= unwinds the double helix)
- 20. The nucleotides in RNA
- 22. Deduced Adenine and Thymine content is equal, and Guanine and Cytosine content is also equal in the genome
- 23. Enzyme that catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres in germ cells.
- 24. Little caps on the end of chromosomes. Important because they postpone the shortening of the chromosomes.
- 25. Strand that receives several RNA primers, extended discontinuously from each primer forming okazaki fragments
Down
- 1. Enzyme that synthesizes the primer
- 2. Relieves strain due to unwinding ahead of the replication fork
- 5. Uncoiled loosely packed form of chromatin and are generally active.
- 8. Type of protein that stabilizes the separated DNA template strands until the new complementary strand is synthesized
- 9. Provided conclusive evidence that DNA is the genetic material by working with bacterial cells and T2 bacteriophages (viruses).(2 name)
- 10. A tightly packed form of DNA/condensed DNA.
- 12. Discovered the phenomenon of transformation working with mice and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
- 13. Deciphered the DNA double helix structure by taking into account discoveries from other contemporary scientists.(2 people)
- 15. A structure that consists of a segment of DNA wound around histone proteins (Thread wrapped around a spool)
- 18. the nucleotides in DNA
- 21. Took the X-ray diffraction image of DNA that showed DNA is a double helix.
