6. A sugar molecule that makes up the backbone of DNA
7. A short piece of DNA
9. Introns are the junk in RNA that need to be removed before the message is functional and can be translated to a protein
13. The way different alleles (genetic traits) come together to make up an organism.
14. The common structure of double-stranded DNA molecules
18. One of four nitrogenous bases that compose DNA and RNA
19. Bacterial enzymes that recognize specific DNA sequences and cut the DNA at those sites

1. A circular piece of DNA that is external to a bacterial chromosome.
2. The DNA sequence is the order all the As, Ts, Cs, and Gs fit together in the order to make us who we are
3. All the genes and gene-related sequences that define an organism
