Down: 1) mutations that change chromosome structure.2) consists of sequence of nitrogen bases (A, C, G, T (or U)) in a polynucleotide chain. The four bases make up the “letters” of the genetic code.4) change in a single nucleotide in DNA. (example: UUU changes to UCU)7) region of operon where regulatory proteins bind. Located near the promoter and helps regulate transcription of operon genes.8) This type of RNA helps to form ribosomes, where proteins are assembled.12) This type of RNA copies the genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus, and carries them to the cytoplasm.13) Occur in the gametes. These can be transmitted to offspring, and every cell within the offspring will be mutated.14) This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosomes, where they join together to form proteins.16) A group of three letters that form a code “word.”17) Anything in the environment that can cause a mutation.21) RNA polymerase binds to this region in order for unwinding of the DNA to occur. This binding is known as “initiation”, which is the beginning of transcription.22) A change in the sequence of bases in DNA or RNA. Across: 3) Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C)5) DNA to RNA to Proteins6) Process in which cells make proteins.9) first part of the central dogma of molecular biology (DNA to RNA).10) Occur in the cells of the body. These mutations are confined to must one cell and its daughter cells. These mutations cannot be passed on to offspring.11) The second part of the central dogma of molecular biology (RNA to Protein).15) Process of using a gene to make a protein.18) region of DNA that consists of one or more genes that encode the proteins needed for specific function.19) Regions of DNA, located near promoters, to which regulatory proteins bind.20) deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides that changes the reading frame of the base sequence.23) These proteins control the transcription process.24) regulatory element that is part of the promoter of most eukaryotic genes. Regulatory proteins bind to TATA box, and RNA polymerase can then bind to the promoter.25) a disease caused by a mutation in one or a few genes.26) Examples of genes that regulate development. They code for regulatory proteins that switch on whole series of major developmental genes.
