Across
- 3. an unstable element that emits radiation
- 6. a solution containing 2 or more substances
- 9. a single strand of base pairs complements made by RNApolymerase
- 11. makes up 98.5% of the body oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphate
- 12. when ribosomes read the amino acid code to create a specific protein
- 13. when one phosphate group bonds to another phosphate group
- 14. a bond between 2 polar opposite molecules but stable and weakest bond
- 16. found abundantly in the body contains a phosphate group sugar and adenosine
- 19. a group of 3 consecutive bases
- 20. the last occupied shell in an element
Down
- 1. when DNA is coiled tightly around histones and the genes are inaccessible/silent
- 2. used almost immediately when created breaks down in water and releases energy
- 4. there are 3000000000 base pairs that make up our genes throughout the 23 chromosomes
- 5. a molecule that does not contain carbon
- 7. a heterogenous solution in a semi-liquid jelly like state
- 8. a pure solution that helps the body maintain body temp is polar and allows cohesion
- 10. something formed by a neutralization reaction between a base and acid
- 12. when the mRNA copies the DNA into a readable script
- 15. the enzyme that unwinds the double helix in DNA to copy base pairs
- 17. a truely stable element has 8 electrons in its outside shell
- 18. a solution that is uniformly combined throughout
