One of the four bases that combine with sugar and phosphate to form a nucleotide subunit of DNA; cytosine pairs with guanine.

Double stranded nucleic acid, contains the instructions for cellular activity and transmits them from generation to generation.

A banding pattern that results when DNA sequences are cut, sorted and tagged during electrophoresis.

Enzyme that unwinds the DNA’s double helix during DNA replication.

Enzyme that joins the two strands of the new complementary strands of DNA during replication.

Enzymes that add nucleotides that pair with each base to form new double helix strands during DNA replication.

Process of determining the exact order of every nucleotide in a gene.

Twisted ladder formation of DNA.

Protein that acts as a catalyst to lower the activation energy required for a biological chemical reaction to start.

Discovered that adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine always pairs with guanine.

Worked with James Watson, was the first to develop an accurate model of DNA.

Segment of a chromosome that controls traits; contains the code for making a single protein.

Process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a protein.

Sequence of DNA nucleotides in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

An inherited disease caused by an abnormal gene.

The entire set of an organism’s genes; genomics is the study of entire genomes.

One of the four bases that combine with sugar and phosphate to form a nucleotide subunit of DNA; guanine pairs with cytosine.

Worked with Francis Crick, was the first to develop an accurate model of DNA.

Worked with Rosalind Franklin to develop the x-ray diffraction images of the DNA molecule.

The molecule that carries the DNA code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

A change from the original DNA sequence that can be harmful or beneficial.

A complex polymer present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.

Basic unit of DNA and RNA, consisting of a nitrogen base, a sugar and a phosphate.

Discovered that DNA serves as genetic material.

A circular DNA molecule in bacteria.

polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Process used to clone DNA sequences for further study or manipulation.

Complex polymer of amino acids used to build and repair cells.

Process of making proteins from instructions contained in genes; proteins are assembled at the ribosomes.

A nitrogenous base in DNA that has a double-ring structure; one of the two categories of DNA bases: either adenine or guanine.

A nitrogenous base in DNA that has a single-ring structure; one of the two categories of DNA bases: either thymine or cytosine.

A protein that binds to specific signal molecules, which causes the cell to respond.

DNA that has been manipulated by genetic engineering.

The point at which the two strands of DNA are separated to allow replication.

Enzymes that recognize a specific sequence of DNA at a restriction site and will cut the DNA at those sites.

Site of protein synthesis; found in the cell cytoplasm.

RNA (ribonucleic acid)

Single stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose and directs the production of proteins.

Enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into a complementary RNA during the process of transcription.

Developed high quality x-ray diffraction images of a DNA molecule; this evidence suggested that DNA was a helix shape with 2-3 strands.

scanning electron microscope

A microscope which beams electrons at and through an object; offers the greatest resolution of extremely small details.

One of the four bases that combine with sugar and phosphate to form a nucleotide subunit of DNA; thymine pairs with adenine.

Process in which DNA’s code is converted to complementary mRNA.

Process by which the sequence of bases of an mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids of a protein.

Type of RNA that carries each amino acid to a ribosome during translation to create a protein.
