Across
- 3. single stranded-used in transcription to code for protein-codes.
- 10. an enzyme that unzips DNA.
- 11. non-coding DNA and are edited out.
- 15. adds nucleotides moving away from the fork.
- 16. each strand acts as a template-each new strand is half old and half new.
- 17. nitrogen bases are held together with this in the middle.
- 18. a protein DNA is wrapped around to make a nucleosome-looks like beads on a string.
- 19. in RNA that replaces the thymine.
- 20. DNA replication occurs in this phase.
Down
- 1. adenine, guanine.
- 2. must be connected together with ligase-happens in lagging strand.
- 4. thymine (uracil if RNA), cytosine.
- 5. occurs in the nucleus-creates mRNA strand editing out introns and sends mRNA strand to translation.
- 6. one strand adds nucleotides moving toward the fork.
- 7. made of 5-carbon sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.
- 8. occurs in the cytoplasm at a ribosome mRNA codons are matched with tRNA anticodons that hold amino acids, creating the protein.
- 9. 2 complementary antiparallel strands of nucleotides twisted are called this.
- 12. codes for proteins/genes and are kept.
- 13. this is deoxyribonucleic acid-long strand of repeating nucleotides.
- 14. adds complementary nucleotides to 3' end.
