| Definition / Concept | Term |
| attach to single-stranded DNA and prevent reannealing | |
| protein which binds to origin and separates strands | |
| this is needed to get RNA polymerase to start “doing its job” – will be several aborted attempts before success | |
| a membrane-bound protein which creates a channel allowing lactose in | |
| a base pair mutation which causes the codon to code for a different amino acid | |
| the size of the large subunit of the eukaryotic ribosomal unit | |
| synthesizes short RNA primers to provide a 3' OH group for the attachment of the DNA nucleotides | |
| a base pair mutation which causes the codon to code for the same amino acid | |
| how “right” replication is | |
| the size of the small subunit of the bacterial ribosomal unit | |
| base change from a purine to a pyrimidine or vise-versa | |
| code for Amber | |
| Stop codon UGA | |
| a base pair mutation which causes a STOP codon | |
| the speed of replication or the number of base pairs replicated in one burst of replication with DNA polymerase | |
| a gene which has an altered sequence resulting in an altered function | |
| a gene which retains the same function despite a change in sequence | |
