1.
Anti-Codon: The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called.
2.
Avery: genes are composed of DNA
3.
Bacteriophage: Virus that infects bacteria
4.
Base Pairing: the principal that states that hydrogen bonds can form only between certain bases in DNA
5.
Chromatin: Eukaryotic chromosomes that contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form a substance.
6.
Codon: Three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide
7.
Differentiation: Process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
8.
DNA polymerase: The principal enzyme involved in DNA replication
9.
Exons: After introns have been cut out of RNA molecules, the remaining pieces called Blank are spliced together
10.
Griffith: the transforming factor are genes
11.
Hershey and Chase: The genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA, not protein
12.
Histone: Protein that DNA wraps around in eukaryotic chromosomes
13.
Hox Genes: A series of genes, called blank, controles the development of organs and tissues in various parts of an embryo
14.
Introns: Sections of RNA molecules that are not involved in coding for proteins
15.
Mutation: A change in the genetic material
16.
Nucleotide: made up of three parts: a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
17.
Operator: when the lac repressor protein binds to the blank, the lac operon is turned off.
18.
Operon: A group of genes that operate together
19.
Polyploidy: Condition in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes
20.
Promoter: Region of DNA that indicates to an enzyme where to bind to make RNA
21.
Replication: Process in which DNA makes a copy of itself
22.
RNA Poleramase: The Enzyme that uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into a strand of RNA.
23.
Transcription: The process that RNA molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA
24.
Transformation: Process in which one strain of bacteria changes into another one
25.
Translation: The decoding of an mRNA message into a protein is called
26.
Watson and Crick: Made model of DNA, Double Helix.
