Answer 1

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!
