Across
- 2. likely to cause injury or harm
- 5. basic building blocks of DNA and RNA
- 6. inserts or deletes one or more nucleotides so the reading frame is changed
- 10. DNA is copied as RNA which can then travel outside the nucleus
- 12. DNA is copied to create an identical strand of DNA
- 13. Ribosomes "read" the RNA and use the information to build proteins
- 17. Nucleotide change creates/destroys a start or stop codon
- 18. part of an immune system
- 20. three nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid
Down
- 1. helps reduce damage
- 3. type of mutation in which one nucleotide is replaced for another nucleotide
- 4. a complex molecular machine
- 7. Affects a single nucleotide usually by substituting one nucleotide for another
- 8. complex molecules that okay many critical roles in the body
- 9. A random change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
- 11. building blocks of protein
- 14. nucleotide changes and causes an amino acid to change
- 15. physical process in which a DNA strand in mixed and changed into a functioning strand of protein
- 16. Genetic information for a functioning organism
- 19. A molecule that is in majority of living things and viruses
