Here are the correct matches between Column A (DNA key terms) and Column B (definitions):
1. adenine: **g. one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with thymine or uracil**
2. base pairing: **h. principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine**
3. cytosine: **b. one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with guanine**
4. guanine: **a. nitrogenous base found in DNA but not in RNA**
5. thymine: **e. one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs with cytosine**
6. mutagen: **c. chemical or physical agents in the environment that interact with DNA and may cause a mutation**
7. frameshift mutation: **d. mutation that shifts the “reading frame” of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide**
8. point mutation: **i. gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed**
9. chromosomal mutation: **f. a change in number of chromosomes or a large amount of DNA in an organism**
