DNA Structure and Function - 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. to make a RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence.
    goal of transcription
  2. molecule that determines the traits that an individual inherits
    DNA
  3. the genetic constitution of an individual organism/an organism's complete set of genes
    genotype
  4. the "rungs" of the ladder in a DNA molecule
    bases
  5. the shape of a DNA molecule
    double helix
  6. threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell.
    chromosome
  7. a type of mutation that involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a segment of DNA.
    deletion
  8. the process by which the genome’s DNA is copied in cells. Before a cell divides, it must first copy (or replicate) its entire genome so that each resulting daughter cell ends up with its own complete genome.
    replication
  9. Thymine
    it is paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA
  10. guanine
    it is paired with cytosine in double stranded DNA
  11. the number of chromosomes in a human cell
    46
  12. observable traits
    phenotype
  13. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
    heterozygous
  14. a type of molecule that performs the main functions of the cell
    protein
  15. it is paired with thymine in double-stranded DNA.
    Adenine
  16. a type of mutation in which one nucleotide is replaced by a different nucleotide.
    substitution
  17. the organelle where DNA is found in eukaryotic cells
    nucleus
  18. a type of mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into a segment of DNA.
    insertion
  19. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
    homozygous
  20. one of the alternative forms of a gene
    allele
  21. The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child. Genes are made up of sequences of DNA and are arranged, one after another, at specific locations on chromosomes in the nucleus of cells.
    gene
  22. cytosine
    it is paired with guanine in double stranded DNA
  23. carries the information needed to build a protein
    role of RNA
  24. a change in the DNA sequence of an organism
    mutation
