Mutation Vocabulary Review Crossword

A change in a DNA sequence
Mutation in which a selection of DNA is lost or deleted.
A mutation when a single base pair is altered. This can result in a silent mutation, nonsense mutation or missense mutation.
Insertions or deletions in the genome that are not in multiples of three nucleotides.
Transforms the information from DNA to the cell machinery that makes the proteins.
Molecules that act as temporary carriers of amino acids, bringing the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome based on the (mRNA).
The act or process of duplicating or repeating a region in the genetic material or chromosome, as in gene duplication and chromosomal duplication.
A mutation that literally flips a segment of a chromosome.
A chromosomal segment is moved from one position to another, either within the same chromosome or to another chromosome.
Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids.
Type of replication error during DNA replication which places the wrong nucleotide or sequence of nucleotides in the wrong position.
Mutation which extra base pairs are inserted into DNA sequence.
A sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic Coe in a DNA or RNA molecule.
Occurs when chromosomes do not separate properly during cell division.
A change in the sequence of nucleotide bases which constitutes DNA, without a subsequent change in the amino acid or the function of the overall protein.
Point mutation in which single nucleotide is changed, resulting in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.
Occurs when the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is changed in a way that stops the normal sequence of amino acids in the final protein.
Process whereby a genetically modified organism is made in the laboratory.
the transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.
Branch of agriculture where animals are reared, bred and raised for meat, fiber, eggs, milk and other food products.
