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