| Definition / Concept | Term |
| code for Ochre | |
| a gene which has an altered sequence resulting in an altered function | |
| Stop codon UAG | |
| base change from a purine to a purine or a pyrimidine to a pyrimidine | |
| the addition or subtraction of 1-2 bases which causes the reading frame of DNA to shift and makes the codons shifted and causes the wrong amino acids to be coded for and produced | |
| a base pair mutation which causes the codon to code for a different amino acid | |
| a gene which retains the same function despite a change in sequence | |
| Stop codon UAA | |
| the size of the small subunit of the bacterial ribosomal unit | |
| joins okazaki fragments by sealing nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone of newly synthesized DNA | |
| a base pair mutation which causes a STOP codon | |
| attach to single-stranded DNA and prevent reannealing | |
| protein which binds to origin and separates strands | |
| the size of the large subunit of the eukaryotic ribosomal unit | |
| moves ahead of the replication fork making and resealing breaks in the double-helical DNA to release torque that builds up as a result of unwinding the DNA at the replication fork | |
| how “right” replication is | |
| synthesizes short RNA primers to provide a 3' OH group for the attachment of the DNA nucleotides | |
