Across
  1. 3. DNA from lysed cell transfers to a live competent cell
  2. 7. structural genes ARE transcribed until they are turned off
  3. 9. a mutation in the 3rd nucleotide of a codon might not change amino acid due to redundancy
  4. 10. gene is off and is able to be turned on
  5. 13. gene is on and is able to be turned off; decreases protein synthesis
  6. 14. expressed at fixed rate, always on, ATP and DNA production
  7. 15. the organelles of protein production in living organisms 70S Prokaryotes, 80S Eukaryotes
  8. 16. segment of DNA where RNA polymerase initiates transcription or structural gene
  9. 17. the sum of all gene types
Down
  1. 1. bacteriophages transfer DNA from one bacterial cell to another
  2. 2. dsDNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule (can be mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA)
  3. 4. structural genes are NOT transcribed unless an inducer is present
  4. 5. the expression of the genotype, creates traits
  5. 6. one bacterium donates DNA to another bacterium creating a new strain
  6. 8. groups of 3 nulceotides in mRNA that encode for an amino acid, 64 different triplets, 22 amino acids
  7. 11. set of operator and promoter sites and the structural genes they control
  8. 12. mRNA is used to produce protein, rRNA makes ribosome, tRNA carries amino acid
  9. 18. segment of DNA that turns on and off transcription of structural genes by binding to a repressor protein
