6. position on a chromosome where a gene for the trait of interest lies
7. use of a gel matrix to make RNA bands with electrophoresis
8. DNA sequence is incorporated into a hybrid construct that can be replicated in a host cell
11. type of enzyme that assemble DNA & RNA; they’re essential for replication
12. polymer of amino acids connected by peptide bonds
15. used to amplify a section of nucleic acid via the process of denaturation, annealing, and polymerase extension
16. use of a gel matrix to make DNA bands with electrophoresis
17. complete set of a genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism
19. type of replication where double stranded nucleic acid separates into two single strands that serve as template strands
20. one of many forms of a gene that resides on a particular locus

1. (2 words; no spaces) gene type most commonly found in the organisms of a species; serves as the basis for measuring variation in a gene
2. alteration of DNA leading to the loss of function of a gene
3. (3 words; no spaces) framework for the nucleic acid structure DNA (alternating sugar & phosphate groups)
4. alteration (indel, frameshift, etc.) of the genetic material resulting in variant DNA
5. a chain of nucleotides (examples: DNA & RNA)
9. enzyme that can break (cleave) a phosphodiester bond
10. shuffling of alleles between chromosomes
13. DNA sequences from another species have been introduced artificially
14. important assay technique for studying protein-gene interactions
18. the coiling of a closed, stable, double helix (DNA)
