Across
  1. 1. important macromolecule that is double stranded and serves as a code to make proteins
  2. 5. the process where DNA makes a copy of itself in order to make new identical cells
  3. 9. the location of dna/replication
  4. 12. the sugar in DNA found along the sides of the ladder
  5. 14. the major macromolecule that DNA and RNA are examples of
  6. 15. the 3D structure of DNA; twisted ladder
Down
  1. 2. the building blocks of DNA; made of a sugar, phosphate and nitrogen base
  2. 3. found between the bases of DNA; holds together the two strands and are broken during replication
  3. 4. important macromolecule that is single stranded and is used to make a copy of DNA and assemble the protein
  4. 6. one of four components that make up the steps of the ladder, ATCG
