Three-base code in DNA or RNA Codon
___________________is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. DNA
___________________is an enzyme that catalyzes synthesis of new DNA molecules. DNA Polymerase
___________________is a genetic mutation caused by (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three. Frameshift Mutation
They are the chief protein components of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and play a role in gene regulation. Histone
It is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. Messenger RNA
Permanent change in a cells DNA. Mutation
Cell division in which the sister chromatids do not separate correctly resulting in abnormal amounts of chromosomes. Nondisjunction
A Mutation in DNA or RNA molecule involving a change of only one nucleotide base. Point Mutation
Is the gene segment that serves as the initiation site where RNA polymerase binds to and initiates the transcription of certain genes. Promoter
