Across
- 3. mutation Genetic mutation caused by deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence
- 6. A mutation that involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a segment of DNA
- 7. Ribosome "read" the mRNA and use the information to build proteins
- 8. Helix Pair of parallel helices intertwined about a common axis
- 11. Nucleotide changes and causes an amino acid to change
- 13. DNA is copied to create an identical strand of DNA
- 15. An inter cellular structure made of both RNA and protein
- 17. An alteration in the nucleic acid sequence
- 18. Protein chin is translated into its native tree-dimensional structure
- 20. Nucleotide changes but amino acid doesn't
Down
- 1. A mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another
- 2. DNA is copied as mRNA which can then travel outside the nucleus
- 4. Nucleotide change creates/destroys a start or stop codon
- 5. Arrangement or organization of parts to form an organism, system, or living thing
- 9. Large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body
- 10. Fundamental molecule that serves as building blocks for proteins
- 12. three nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid
- 14. mutation Affects a single nucleotide
- 16. A mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides from a segment of DNA
- 19. Self replicating material that is presented in nearly all living organisms
