Across
- 1. It makes up a viral genome
- 3. This causes to reduce the electrostatic interaction of histones and DNA
- 5. It is used in The Hershey and Chase experiment
- 6. This is one of the residue responsible for the positive charge of the histones
- 9. These do not make proteins
- 11. It is a phase in prophase I where synapsis occurs
- 15. It is positively charge that binds to the DNA
- 17. It is the main reason why DNA is the genetic material and not RNA
- 18. The dynamic modification of chromatin architecture (2 words)
- 20. rich in active genes
- 22. It locks or stabilizes the DNA during chromatin remodelling (type of histone)
- 24. It is a phase of prophase I where chromosomes condense
- 25. The longest phase in meiosis
- 27. repeating array of DNA-protein
- 28. It results in two genetically identical diploid cells from one diploid parent cell
- 29. non-coding region of DNA
Down
- 1. It is only one for prokaryotes but three in eukaryotes
- 2. protein found in the middle of the chromosomes
- 4. It makes up for a lot of genetic diversity (2 words)
- 7. It gives a greater variation upon reproducing (2 words)
- 8. transcriptionally inactive for it contains highly repeated DNA sequences
- 10. It is a phase where crossing over occurs
- 12. It is needed for the evolution of populations (2 words)
- 13. They do not split in meiosis I
- 14. DNA sequence that provide direction for RNA polymerase
- 16. This lacks in meiosis II
- 19. The presence of this is the reason why we wear gloves when handling DNA
- 21. It results in four genetically different haploid cells from one diploid parent cell
- 23. It is part of the histones where chemical modification takes place
- 26. It is responsible for the negative charge of the DNA
