I. IDENTIFICATION. Write down the correct term or concept that is being defined.

_______________ 1. This is the enzyme that keeps the DNA open and holds its end so that it will not twist.

_______________ 2. The term used which means “programmed cell death” or cell suicide.

_______________ 3. The term used which means “to copy”, the process by which the mRNA copies from
an opened segment of the DNA- information of a certain protein.

_______________ 4. The molecule, which stabilizes a single strand of a DNA as it opens.

_______________ 5. The molecule that adds new bases to the old strand, proof reads and checks whether it
is adding the correct bases.

_______________ 6. The basic unit of the DNA molecule, made up of a phosphate group, a ribose sugar and
a nitrogenous base.

_______________ 7. This is the part of the cell where protein synthesis occurs.

_______________ 8. This is the type of the RNA molecule, which holds or carries the anti-codon or nodoc.

_______________ 9. These are small circular DNA molecules in bacteria, which are used as vectors in
inserting certain cloned length of DNA.

______________ 10. These are artificial chromosomes that come from yeasts, which can serve as vectors
that can accommodate larger DNA fragments-larger than cosmids.
