Across
- 3. – unwinds parental double helix
- 8. – the process that uses information in the RNA to manufacture a protein by aligning and joining specified amino acids
- 9. – a type of an mRNA which carries the information that specifies a particular protein
- 10. – two copies of the same chromosome attached together
- 14. – complete set of chromosomes in a specie
- 15. – both alleles contribute to the phenotype of an organism
- 17. – three mRNA in a row that form a genetic code word that specifies a certain amino acid
- 18. – an mRNA molecule that complimentary to one strand of the DNA double helix for a particular gene
- 20. – describes the organism’s allele
- 22. – The centromere of a chromosome establishes one long arm and one short arm
- 24. – It have a single-ring structure that consists of guanine and adenine
- 26. – a special sequence that signals the start of the gene
- 28. – paired chromosomes with same length, shape, centromere location and genes
- 29. – short arm of a chromosome
Down
- 1. – a type of an mRNA that transports specific amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis
- 2. – number of sets of chromosomes
- 3. – provide physical means for packing the very long DNA
- 4. – fundamental unit of chromatin
- 5. – largest constriction of a chromosome where sister chromatids are attached
- 6. – protein structure that assembles on the centromere and attach sister chromatids to mitotic spindle
- 7. – covers up the recessive form
- 11. – a chromosome that pinches off a small amount of material toward one end
- 12. – the parts of mRNA that remain and are translated into amino acid sequences
- 13. – traits controlled by two or more genes
- 16. – diagram used to determine genetic crosses
- 19. – DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes
- 21. – Mendel called it as non-true breeding or hybrid
- 23. – are structures that transmit genetic information to next generation
- 25. – adds short primer to template strand
- 27. – a piece of DNA that carries the information needed to make a specific protein
