Across
  1. 2. a type of chromosomal mutation where a segment of DNA breaks off, flips, and reattaches
  2. 4. genetic alterations that occur when one or more nucleotides are inserted or deleted from a DNA sequence
  3. 6. a single-stranded RNA molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome
  4. 10. the process by which a cell makes an RNA copy of a DNA
  5. 11. made in RNA
  6. 14. found in all living organisms, where they translate the genetic code from mRNA
  7. 15. a change in the DNA sequence where one nucleotide is replaced by another
  8. 16. are three-nucleotide sequences in transfer RNA that are complementary to specific codons
  9. 17. a non-coding RNA that forms a key part of ribosomes, is essential for all known organisms
  10. 18. a sequence of three consecutive nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid
  11. 20. a kind of mutation where a segment of DNA is lost during DNA replication
  12. 21. signals the beginning of protein synthesis and codes for the amino acid methionine
  13. 23. a sequence of three nucleotides that signals the end of protein synthesis in a cell
  14. 24. when a segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome
  15. 26. a chain of many amino acids linked together by peptide bonds
  16. 27. the process where a cell makes a process using the genetic information carried in mRNA
Down
  1. 1. a type of mutation where one or more nucleotide base pairs are added into a DNA sequence
  2. 3. changes in the structure or number of chromosomes
  3. 5. a permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism
  4. 7. a chart that displays the correspondence between specific sequences of three codons in mRNA and the amino acids they encode
  5. 8. links mRNA with the amino acids used to build proteins during translation
  6. 9. where the enzyme helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between DNA base pairs
  7. 12. the vital links that connect amino acids to form polypeptide chains, which fold into functional proteins
  8. 13. a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene
  9. 19. occurs when a portion of a chromosome or gene is copied
  10. 22. an enzyme that copies DNA to RNA
  11. 25. molecules that combine to form proteins
