Gene Expression

3. Agents such as radiation or chemical substances, that cause genetic mutation
7. Phosphate, base and sugar
11. A form of mutation where one or more bases are inserted potentially causing a detrimental effect
12. Process where one DNA strand is used as a template in order to create an RNA molecule that is an exact copy of the coding strand
13. A single base change in a DNA molecule that causes a mutation
14. Three nucleotides on messenger RNA that codes for a specific amino acid in the synthesis of a protein molecule
15. Physical expression of a trait
17. Three nucleotides in a molecule of DNA that codes for a specific amino acid
18. Term used to describe the process by which cells generate new proteins taking place outside of the nucleus on organelles called ribosomes
19. A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction

1. Name of a mutation where the substituted base does not cause a change in the amino acid sequence
2. A form of gene mutation where one or more of the DNA bases is removed from the DNA molecule
4. A long chain of amino acids
5. A permanent and random change to the DNA base sequence
6. Process where the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide/protein
8. Linked enzyme controlled chemical reactions where the product of one reaction is the substrate for the next until the end product is made
9. Ends the process of protein synthesis
10. The initial chemical acted upon by an enzyme
16. A biological molecule that speeds up biochemical reactions by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction that requires less activation energy
