Across
- 2. A secondary structure at the cleavage site that viroids and virusoids undergo during self-cleavage.
- 3. Process which the 5' terminus generated at the end of the intron simultaneously transesterificates to become linked by a 2'-5' bond to a base within the intron.
- 5. This type of bond makes up the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNAl It is also involved in branching during mRNA.
- 6. The sequences that are removed from a mature protein.
- 10. A classic mode of transcription control in bacteria where a repressor protein prevents a gene from being expressed. (Two words with a "_" between them.
- 13. Infectious RNA molecules that function independently without encapsidation by any protein coat.
- 15. Code: pre-mrna mRNA with introns still embedded in the code.
Down
- 1. Occurs when a single gene gives rise to more than one mRNA sequence.(Two words with a "_" between them)
- 4. Group I and group II introns can participate in ___-____ where they can excise themselves. (hyphen)
- 7. The sequences that are represented in the mature protein.
- 8. DNA to RNA to polypeptide. (Two words with a "_" between them)
- 9. DNA sequences that are initially transcribed but then excised during when mRNA ages.
- 11. ________ RNA that contains a sequence that is complementary to the correctly edited mRNA.
- 12. An enzyme that lowers activation energy and jump starts a chemical reaction.
- 14. the RNA sequence is read from _____ to ____ end don't forget the "'".
