Across
- 4. Diagram that shows the lengths of fragments between restriction sites in the strand of DNA
- 7. In this mutation, a nucleotide is added or deleted and results in the misreading of the code during translation because of a change in the reading frame
- 8. A nucleotide sequence that is part of a gene and that is transcribed from DNA into mRNA but not translated into amino acids
- 9. A change in the structure or amount of the genetic material of an organism
- 10. A type of enzyme that cuts double stranded DNA into fragments by recognizing specific nucleotide sequences and cutting DNA at those sequences.
Down
- 1. A nucleotide sequence on a DNA molecule to which an RNA polymerase molecule binds, which initiates the transcription of a specific gene
- 2. Method of separating various lengths of DNA strands by applying an electrical current to a gel
- 3. Agent that can induce or increase the frequency of mutation in organisms
- 5. A unit of adjacent genes that consists of functionally related structural genes and their associated regulatory genes; common in prokaryotes and phages
- 6. This type of mutation in which only one nucleotide or nitrogenous base in a gene is changed
- 11. One of several non adjacent nucleotide sequences that are part of one gene and that are transcribed, joined together, and then translated
