Question
Match the DNA key terms to their correct definition.
Column A
adenine
base pairing
cytosine
guanine
thymine
mutagen
frameshift mutation
point mutation
chromosomal mutation
Column B
a. one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs
with cytosine
b. mutation that shifts the "reading frame" of the genetic
message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide
c. principle that bonds in DNA can form only between adenine
and thymine and between guanine and cytosine
d. gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been
changed
e. one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs
with thymine or uracil|
f. one of four nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA; pairs
with guanine
g. nitrogenous base found in DNA but not in RNA
h. a change in number of chromosomes or a large amount of
DNA in an organism

with DNA and may cause a mutation
