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