Across
- 3. Synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, but discontinuously against overall direction of replication
- 6. DNA that consists of two molecules that are arranged into a ladder-like structure
- 7. Change of a single nucleotide; includes the deletion, insertion or substitution of one nucleotide in a gene
- 9. DNA may be cut by some special naturally-occurring proteins
- 10. Synthesized as a single polymer in the 5'to 3' direction
Down
- 1. Process by which information encoded in mRNA is used to assemble a protein at a ribosome
- 2. Inserting or deleting one or more nucleotides; changes "reading frame" like changing a sentence
- 4. DNA fragments that are different sizes that can be separated
- 5. A molecule of DNA is made up of millions of tiny subunits
- 8. Process by which genetic information encoded in DNA is copied onto messenger RNA
