Micro Genetics

2. Genes that code for proteins.
5. The DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during replication.
8. The DNA strand that is synthesized discontinuously in fragments during replication.
10. Structures made of DNA that carry genetic information; found in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the nucleoid region in prokaryotes.
15. The genetic makeup of an organism.
16. Extra copies of DNA found in bacteria and some fungi, which carry non-essential genetic information.
17. An enzyme that joins DNA fragments together on the lagging strand.
18. The physical trait or characteristic expressed by the genotype.

1. Genes that control gene expression.
3. The process by which DNA is copied before cell division.
4. Method of DNA replication where each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand.
6. A short RNA sequence that provides a starting point for DNA polymerase during replication.
7. All the genetic material (DNA) present in an organism.
9. A sequence of DNA responsible for coding a protein.
11. The passing of genetic information from one generation to the next.
12. An enzyme that adds nucleotides to a growing DNA strand during replication.
13. fragments Short fragments of DNA formed on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
14. The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
