1. The genes for eye and hair colour are located on the same chromosome. These genes are therefore ___________ and do not assort ___________.
2. A condition whereby homologous chromosomes do not separate during anaphase, thus giving rise to genetic mutations, is called _____________.
3. The storage of information for protein specificity lies in the linear sequence of ____________.
4. _____________ is an enzyme used in the unzipping of DNA.
5. Position and relative size of G-bands, length of arms, as well as size and location of kinetochore are distinguishing features used to identify a chromosome and its ____________.
6. A codon is, in terms of length, equivalent to _____________. Thus, this is the minimal size for the coding unit for one amino acid.
7. A gene, also termed __________, specifies the amino acid sequence of one polypeptide.
8. The model of the operon, consists of two parts: the ___________ and ___________ genes.
9. The __________ binds with the repressor to prevent the latter from binding with the operator gene.
10. Adjacent to the structural genes along the coding region is the leader region, which is the binding site for ___________. Taken together, they form the transcription unit.
11. In the Jacob-Monod hypothesis of control of enzyme synthesis, tryptophan acting as a co-repressor binds with the repressor, which in turn binds with the operator gene. The net results is the cessation of ______________ production.
12. The process by which amino acids combine with transfer RNA using energy from ATP is called ____________.
13. Each type of tRNA is amino acid-specific; there is at least _____ types of tRNA.
14. An RNA polymerase binding site, the ___________ allows the enzyme to attach itself in order to begin mRNA transcription.
