Across
- 3. / the material of which the chromosomes of organisms other than bacteria are composed
- 8. Primer / Add a short segment of RNA
- 10. Replication / Method of DNA replication in which parental strands separate, act as templates and produce molecules of DNA w/ one parental DNA strand and one new DNA strand
- 12. / a substance capable of causing cancer in living tissue
- 14. / an organelle near the nucleus of a cell that contains the centrioles
- 16. Strand / Is built continuously by the addition of nucleotides to the 3’ end
- 17. Cycle / a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes
Down
- 1. / a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- 2. / having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
- 4. Fragment / short sequences of DNA nucleotides which are synthesized discontinuously and later linked together by the enzyme DNA ligase to create the lagging strand during DNA replication.
- 5. / an enzyme that brings about ligation of DNA or another substance
- 6. Chromatid / the identical copies formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome
- 7. Strand / Elongates away from the replication fork
- 9. Polymerase / Enzymes that catalyzes synthesis of new DNA molecules
- 11. / a structural unit of a eukaryotic chromosome
- 13. / Are a class of enynes vial to all living organisms
- 15. / containing two complete sets of chromosome, one from each parent
