2. sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis
4. a compound which is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids
8. Transfer ribonucleic acid
9. enzyme that synthesizes short RNA sequences
11. strand of nascent DNA whose direction of synthesis is opposite to the direction of the growing replication fork
13. a written or printed representation of something
14. chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule
15. a compound that occurs in guano and fish scales, and is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids
18. the process of translating words or text from one language into another
20. organic compounds that combine to form proteins
23. synthesizes RNA by following a strand of DNA
25. enzyme which can connect two strands of DNA together

1. These enzymes are essential for DNA replication and usually work in groups to create two identical DNA
3. bind to the newly separated individual DNA strands
5. particle consisting of RNA and associated proteins found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells
6. enzymes that participate in the overwinding or underwinding of DNA
7. single DNA strand that, during DNA replication, is replicated in the 3' – 5' direction
10. enzymes that bind and may even remodel nucleic acid
12. messenger carrying Instructions from dna
16. organic molecule that is the building block of DNA and RNA
17. Messenger RNA
19. one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U
21. the building blocks of a person
22. a compound found in living tissue as a constituent base of nucleic acids
24. a compound which is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids
