Across
  1. 4. a specific DNA sequence located upstream of a gene that acts as the binding site for RNA polymerase and transcription factors, signaling where to start transcribing a gene into RNA
  2. 6. A biochemical compound that is made of chains of amino acids. Built by ribosomes
  3. 8. a segment of a gene's DNA or RNA that carries the instructions for building proteins
  4. 10. Process of building mRNA molecule from a DNA template
  5. 13. ribonucleic acid; a single strand nucleic acid that plays an important role in the production of proteins
  6. 14. structure in the eukaryotic cell that holds DNA
Down
  1. 1. synthesis the process of building proteins by using information contained in DNA and carried by mRNA
  2. 2. a non-coding segment of DNA or RNA within a gene
  3. 3. messenger RNA; type of RNA that copies DNA instructions in the nucleus and takes those instructions to the ribosomes
  4. 5. ribosomal RNA; type of RNA that composes a ribosome
  5. 7. acids building blocks of proteins
  6. 9. Makes proteins, using mRNA as instructions. May be found in the cytoplasm or attached to Rough ER
  7. 11. polymerase enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription using a DNA strand as a template
  8. 12. transfer RNA; type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome
