BIOLOGY VOCAB - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. This is the term used to describe the structure of DNA.
    Double helix
  2. The observable traits of an individual.
    Phenotype
  3. A type of protein that does NOT cross the cell membrane.
    Peripheral protein
  4. S phase
    The stage of interphase where DNA is replicated.
  5. Telophase
    During this phase of the cell cycle, chromosomes start to decondense and the nuclei begin to reform.
  6. Chromatid
    One half of a chromosome.
  7. Independent variable
    A variable that is manipulated. When graphed, it is the X-axis.
  8. Chloroplast
    An organelle only found in plant cells, where photosynthesis occurs.
  9. Gametes
    Sperm and egg cells (aka. reproductive cells)
  10. The building blocks of proteins.
    Amino acids
  11. Having two different versions of a specific gene.
    Heterozygous alleles
  12. Homologous chromosomes
    Matching pairs of chromosomes that contain the same genes in the same order.
  13. Solvent
    A substance that dissolves a solute.
  14. The imaginary line across the center of a cell.
    Metaphase plate
  15. Taking in food for energy and development.
    Nutrition
  16. Prokaryotic cell
    A type of cell that does not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
  17. Water loving, the heads of phospholipids
    Hydrophilic
  18. The packaged, condensed form of DNA. This form is useful when transporting DNA, such as during the cell cycle.
    Chromosome
  19. A term used to describe a membrane that allows some things to pass through and blocks others.
    Semi-permeable
  20. This term describes data that can be counted, measured, or assigned a numerical value.
    Quantitative
  21. Independent assortment
    This process occurs in Metaphase I of meiosis, where the homologous chromosomes randomly align at the center of the cell.
  22. Programmed cell death.
    Apoptosis
  23. The non-active stage of a cell's life, where it is not dividing or preparing to divide.
    G0 phase
  24. Osmosis
    A type of passive transport where water moves across a membrane.
  25. Polymerase
    The enzyme in DNA replication that adds complementary base pairs to the new strand.
  26. Crossing over
    Occurs in Prophase I of Meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange DNA.
  27. Hypotonic
    In this type of solution, water enters the cell, causing it to burst. This is because there are more solutes inside the cell than outside.
  28. The part of a nucleotide where genetic information is stored.
    Nitrogenous bases
  29. Respiration
    The process of breaking down food for energy.
  30. Alternative versions of the same gene.
    Alleles
  31. Diploid
    Having two complete sets of chromosomes
  32. Replication fork
    The Y-shaped structure that forms when DNA "unzips."
  33. Semi-conservative
    A term used to describe the fact that DNA is made up of one old strand and one new strand.
  34. An organelle that processes and packages proteins; like a Post Office
    Golgi apparatus
