Across
- 2. the organelles of protein production in living organisms (prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
- 3. a change the 3rd nucleotide of a codon not change the amino acid coded for due to redundancy
- 7. A T G C
- 8. genes, expressed at a fixed rate and are always turned on
- 9. the sum of all gene types - organism’s distinctive genetic makeup
- 11. groups of 3 nucleotides in mRNA that each encode which amino acid is added
- 12. turns on gene expression and is initiated by an inducer
- 13. segment of DNA where RNA polymerase initiates transcription of structural genes
- 14. A U G C
Down
- 1. mRNA is used to produce a protein
- 4. dsDNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule (could be mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA)
- 5. inhibits gene expression and decreases protein synthesis
- 6. expression of the genotype creates traits
- 9. is the study of inheritance, or heredity of living things
- 10. a distinct cellular structure composed of DNA and protein
