Population Genetics Bingo! - 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.

    Charles Darwin
  2. a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding
    Species
  3. variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce

  13. representation of individual reproductive success
    Fitness
  14. body parts of animals that have a similar structure
    homologous structures
  15. the complete dying out of a species

  16. changing of the structure of a gene caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes
    Mutation
  17. The influence of closely associated species on each other in their evolution.
    Coevolution
  18. the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution
    Speciation
  19. organisms of the same species that live in a particular geographic area
    Population

  21. features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure
    Analogous structures
  22. seasonal movement of animals from one region to another
    Migration
  23. Directional Selection
  24. reduced genetic diversity which results when a population is descended from a small number of colonizing ancestors.
