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