Genetics and Superbugs/Antibiotic Resistance - 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. a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
    gene
  2. germs like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them.
    antibiotic resistance
  3. one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
    allele
  4. the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations
    mutation
