Across
- 3. gene mutation-when a base is added or deleted and changes all amino acids after the mutation.
- 5. masubstituting made of amino acids-used for enzymes, trnasport, and cell structures.
- 7. type of mutation that changes whole sections of a chromosome by adding, deletion, inverting, or moving sections.
- 9. 3 letter sections of mRNA that codes for an amino acid.
- 11. refers to DNA and histone proteins that make up chromosomes.
- 12. single stranded nucleic acid used by cells, has bases a,u,g,and c, types include mRNA,tRNA, and rRNA.
- 15. used to organize DNA to fit in the nucleus, together with DNA makes up chromatin.
- 19. monomer of proteins-these are carried by tRNA molecules during translation.
- 24. replicating strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving away from helicase.
- 25. 3 letter section of tRNA that matches to a codon of mRNA.
Down
- 1. replicating strand of DNA that adds nucleotides moving toward helicase.
- 2. enzyme used to unzip the DNA molecule during DNA replication.
- 4. gene mutation-when a base is substituted-changes only 1 amino acid.
- 6. section of a gene that codes for protein.
- 8. segment of newly formed DNA on the lagging strand, connected together by ligase during DNA replication.
- 10. making a copy of DNA, occurs during the s phase of interphase.
- 13. part of a nucleotide along with a 5 cabon sugar and phosphate group.
- 14. double stranded nucleic acid that has all gnetic material, bases includ a,t,g, and c, located in the nucleus.
- 16. type of RNA used during translation, carries the amino acid and matches up with the mRNA codon.
- 17. section of DNA that codes for a protein, has introns and exons-passed from parent to offspring.
- 18. type of mutation that only affects one gene by subsituting, adding, or deleting bases.
- 20. strand of RNA created during transcription-each 3-letter section us called a codon.
- 21. monomer of nucleic acids-made of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.
- 22. organelle where proteins are made.
- 23. section of a gene between exons-does not code for proteins, "junk".
