Across
- 5. organelle which proteins are made
- 6. single stranded nucleic acid used by cells.
- 7. gene mutation- when a base is added or deleted +changes all amino acids after the mutation
- 8. 3 letter section of trna that matches a codn
- 12. mutation- gene mutation when a base is substituted only changes 1 amino acid.
- 14. strand replicating strand of dna that adds nucleotides moving toward helicase.
- 15. monomer of nucleic acids made of a sugar +nitrogen base
- 17. enzyme used to unzip the DNA molecule during DNA replication.
- 19. strand- replication strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving away from helicase.
Down
- 1. 1st step of protein synthesis takes place in the nucleus
- 2. macromolecule of amino acids
- 3. mutation- type of mutation that changes whole sections of chromosome by adding or deleting and bases.
- 4. refers to DNA histone protein that made up chromosomes.
- 9. 3 letter structure of MRNA that codes for amino acid
- 10. strand of RNA created during transcription- each 3 letter section is a codon.
- 11. acid- monomer of a protein- these are carried by tRNA molecules during transcription
- 13. 2nd step of protein synthesis takes place at the ribosome.
- 16. replication- making a copy of DNA- occurs in s phase
- 18. double stranded nucleic acid that has all the genetic material
- 20. mutations- type of mutation that only affects any gene by substituting or and any base
