Across
- 6. special nucleotide sequences that DNA molecules have
- 9. template stand
- 10. DNA sequence where RNA polymerase attaches and initiates transcription
- 12. the synthesis of a polypeptide using the info in the mRNA
- 14. enzymes that untwist the double helix at the replication forks, separating two parental stands making them available as template stands
- 15. noncoding segments of nucleic acid that lie between coding regions
- 16. the resulting polypeptide will be shorter than the polypeptide encoded by the normal gene
- 17. removes introns,exons together
- 18. crucial promoter DNA sequence
- 19. carries a genetic message from the DNA to the protein-synthesizing machinery of cell
- 21. RNA molecules that function as enzymes
- 23. mutation that has no observable effect on phenotype
- 27. the synthesis of RNA using info in the DNA
- 28. holds the tRNA carrying the next amino acid to be added to the chain
- 29. enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of new DNA by adding nucleotides to a preexisting chain
- 31. joins the sugar-phosphate backbone into a continuous DNA strand
- 32. RNA chain is called this and is synthesized by the enzyme primes
- 33. nucleotide triplet of base pairs on tRNA
- 34. nucleotide triplet in sequence
Down
- 1. removes a chromosomal segment
- 2. DNA structure(two strands)
- 3. reverses a segment within a chromosome
- 4. start reading to where you stop
- 5. binds to starting point on DNA synthesizes mRNA
- 7. strand
- 8. changes in a single nucleotide pair of a gene
- 11. the inactive x in each cell of a female condenses into a compact object
- 12. a rearrangement of the chromosomes from one chromosome to a non homologous chromosome
- 13. substitutions that change one amino acid to another one
- 20. holds the tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide chain
- 22. discharged tRNA leave the ribosome here
- 24. eventually expressed, usually by being translated into amino acid sequences
- 25. sequence that signals the end of transcription
- 26. during translation the message is a series of codons along an mRNA molecule and is translated by this
- 29. repeats a segment
- 30. a stage of RNA processing in the eukaryotic nucleus is the removal of large portions of the RNA molecule
