DNA's structure is most often described as this twisted shape resembling a ladder.

This is a sequence of DNA that codes for a trait.

The Turtles got their powers from a goo giving off this form of energy, the same type that can cause skin cancers if you spend too much time sunbathing.

Like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, a new cell starts its life cycle by growing and growing in this phase that includes G1, S, and G2.

The enzyme Primase lays down one of these segments of RNA to designate the starting point of replication.

We describe the two strands of DNA with this adjective because they run in opposite directions like a two lane road.

Proteins are translated from these single-stranded molecules.

Leonardo's martial art skills may have been caused by this type of mutation in which a single nitrogen base is swapped for another.

Between growth spurts, a cell must do this with its DNA in a stage called Synthesis.

Cancer cells often accumulate in one of these masses of cells.

Chargaff's Rule states that your DNA has an equal amount of Adenine and this other nitrogen base.

tRNA molecules are responsible for bringing these protein components to the ribosomes.

These structures in Donatello's cells are responsible for creating whatever proteins led to his high tolerance for pizza.

When a cell is ready for mitosis, it enters Prophase, and its DNA coils up around these proteins to form chromosomes.

Loose, unwound DNA is known by this term.

This enzyme "unzips" the DNA molecule to allow replication to occur.

These sets of three nucleotides on the mRNA determine the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.

The Ninja Turtles' size must be due to an insertion or deletion of nitrogen bases in their genes, leading to this type of dramatic mutation.

During this phase of mitosis, sister chromatids are pulled apart, never to see each other again!

This genetic disorder that causes misshapen red blood cells also provides protection against malaria.

DNA is short for this much longer word, named in part for its sugar that's missing an Oxygen.

The DNA sequence below would be transcribed to this sequence of RNA.

TAC CCG ATA

This enzyme is responsible for assembling the nucleotides used to replicate the Turtles' mutated DNA.

At the end of a cell's life cycle, it undergoes this process, dividing its cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells.

This enzyme is responsible for sealing the sugar and phosphate backbone of DNA fragments during replication.
