Across
- 5. Segment of newly formed DNA on the lagging strand, connected together ligase during DNa replication.
- 9. 1st step of protein synthesis - takes place in nucleus and creates strand of mRNA.
- 13. Organelle where proteins are made.
- 14. Macromolecule made of amino acids for enzymes, transport, and cell structures.
- 15. 3 letter sections of mRNA that codes for an amino acid.
- 16. Replication strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving toward helicase.
- 17. Type of mutation that changes who sections of a chromosome nu adding, deletion, inverting, and moving sections.
- 18. When a base is added or deleted and changes all amino acids after the mutation.
- 21. Double stranded nucleic acid that has all genetic material, bases include A, T, G, and C, and is located in the nucleus.
Down
- 1. 3 letter section of tRNA that matches to a codon of mRNA.
- 2. Type of mutation that only affects one gene by substituting, adding, or deleting bases.
- 3. Enzyme used to unzip the DNA molecule during DNA replication.
- 4. Replication strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving away from helicase.
- 6. Refers to DNA and histone proteins that make up chromosomes.
- 7. Monomer of proteins - made of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.
- 8. Strand of RNA created during transcription - Each 3 letter section is called a codon.
- 10. Double stranded nucleic acid that has all genetic material, bases include A, T, G, and C, and is located in the nucleus.
- 11. Type of RNa used during translation, carries the amino acid and matches up with the mRNA codon.
- 12. When a base is substituted and only changes 1 amino acid.
- 19. Single stranded nucleic acid used by cells, has bases A, U, G, and, C types of include mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.
- 20. 2nd step of protein synthesis - takes place at a ribosome and uses tRNA molecules to assemble amino acids into proteins.
