Across
- 3. An umbrella term for the manipulation of genetic material within organisms.
- 4. The repeating, non coding regions at the ends of each chromosome, which protect it from deterioration.
- 6. A change in the sequence of DNA, as a result of an error in DNA replication, or environmental factors (eg. radiation).
- 8. The basic monomer unit of DNA, comprising of a pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and phosphate group.
- 9. Protein molecules that bind to DNA directly or indirectly, to activate or supress gene expression.
- 10. The whole genetic makeup of an organism, including coding and non coding regions of all chromosomes.
Down
- 1. A form of cell replication, where a diploid parent cell divides to form 2 identical daughter cells.
- 2. A term for hybrid DNA, which is artificially created by inserting a desired gene of one or more organisms into another organism's DNA. Very commonly done in bacteria.
- 5. The coding segments of DNA, that are conserved during splicing, to be transcribed to mRNA, and translated to amino acids.
- 7. The non coding segments of a gene, where transcription factors bind to.
