Across
  1. 2. segment of DNA that controls transcription of structural genes by binding to a repressor protein
  2. 3. DNA wound around histone-like proteins and one circular chromosome
  3. 11. a random change in the DNA arising from errors in
  4. 13. expression of the genotype creates traits
  5. 14. an event in which one bacterium donates DNA to another bacterium
  6. 15. turns on gene expression andinitiated by an inducer
Down
  1. 1. dsDNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule
  2. 4. results from exposure to known mutagens, physical or chemical agents that disrupt DNA
  3. 5. the organelles of protein production in living organisms
  4. 6. (DNA is a double-stranded) always pairs with thymine (T)
  5. 7. the study of inheritance, or heredity of living things
  6. 8. the sum of all gene types - organism’s distinctive genetic makeup
  7. 9. segment of DNA where RNA polymerase initiates transcription of structural genes
  8. 10. groups of 3 nucleotides in mRNA that each encode for an amino acid that is added to a growing peptide chain
  9. 12. Repressor proteins stop operon transcription and therefore are used for
