Here’s the matching of DNA key terms from Column A to their correct definitions in Column B:
1. **genetic material:** **b.** substance containing the genetic information of a cell
2. **adenine:** **f.** one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with thymine or uracil
3. **base pairing:** **c.** principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine
4. **cytosine:** **e.** one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with guanine
5. **guanine:** **g.** one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with cytosine
6. **thymine:** **f.** one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with adenine
7. **frameshift mutation:** **(not defined in the provided options)**
8. **mutagen:** **i.** chemical or physical agent that causes a mutation
9. **mutation:** **h.** change in the genetic material of a cell
10. **point mutation:** **d.** gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed
11. **polyploidy:** **a.** condition in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes
Note that for **frameshift mutation**, there was no definition provided in Column B. If you need further clarification or definitions, please let me know!
