Across
- 3. A type of RNA that forms part of the ribosome and helps in protein synthesis.
- 4. The sugar molecule found in the backbone of DNA.
- 6. The process of synthesising a protein from an mRNA template at the ribosome.
- 7. A permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene, which can be inherited or arise spontaneously.
- 11. A molecule that makes up the rungs of the DNA ladder.
- 14. The cellular process of building proteins based on the information encoded in DNA.
- 15. A building block of DNA or RNA
Down
- 1. An enzyme that synthesises new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand during DNA replication.
- 2. The Y-shaped region where the DNA double helix is actively being unwound and replicated.
- 5. The complete set of genetic material (DNA in most organisms) present in an organism or cell
- 8. The process of synthesising an RNA molecule from a DNA template.
- 9. A nucleic acid involved in protein synthesis, transcription, and other cellular processes.
- 10. A type of RNA that carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
- 12. A type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
- 13. An enzyme that unwinds and separates the DNA double helix during DNA replication.
