DNA WORD PUZZLE

Use the clues to find the vocabulary words 

Across
In all cells RNAP is needed for constructing rna chains from a dna template, a process termed transcription.
Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of smaller, repeating units that are chemically connected to one another.
a nucleic acid that is generally single stranded (double stranded in some viruses) and plays a role in transferring information from DNA to protein-forming system of the cell.
The basic building block of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA.
The basic function of the nucleotide sequence of mRNA is to determine the amino acid sequence in proteins.
a genetic mutation caused by indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three.
occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene.
The coiled structure of a double-stranded DNA molecule in which strands linked by hydrogen bonds form a spiral configuration.
he first codon of a messenger RNA
is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation into proteins.
RNA consisting of folded molecules that transport amino acids from the cytoplasm of a cell to a ribosome.
Down
This process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance.
the process in which ribosomes in a cell's cytoplasm create proteins, following transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus.
constraints imposed by the molecular structure of DNA and RNA on the formation of hydrogen bonds among the four purine and pyrimidine bases such that adenine pairs with thymine or uracil, and guanine pairs with cytosine.
DNA and RNA molecules are written in a language of four nucleotides; meanwhile, the language of proteins includes 20 amino acids.
single base modification, is a type of mutation that causes a single nucleotide base substitution, insertion, or deletion of the genetic material, DNA or RNA.
the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).
It provides the basic framework for how genetic information flows from a DNA sequence to a protein product inside cells.
It makes polypeptides (assemblies of amino acids) that go to make up proteins.
It bounds to the complementary coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA during translation phase of protein synthesis.
