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