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. the number of chromosomes in a human cell
    46
  2. the "rungs" of the ladder in a DNA molecule
    bases
  3. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
    heterozygous
  4. one of the alternative forms of a gene
    allele
  5. cytosine
    it is paired with guanine in double stranded DNA
  6. a type of mutation that involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a segment of DNA.
    deletion
  7. observable traits
    phenotype
  8. the shape of a DNA molecule
    double helix
  9. threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell.
    chromosome
  10. the organelle where DNA is found in eukaryotic cells
    nucleus
  11. molecule that determines the traits that an individual inherits
    DNA
  12. a type of mutation in which one nucleotide is replaced by a different nucleotide.
    substitution
  13. Thymine
    it is paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA
  14. guanine
    it is paired with cytosine in double stranded DNA
  15. the genetic constitution of an individual organism/an organism's complete set of genes
    genotype
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
    homozygous
  19. a type of molecule that performs the main functions of the cell
    protein
  20. a change in the DNA sequence of an organism
    mutation
  21. a type of mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into a segment of DNA.
    insertion
  22. to make a RNA copy of a gene's DNA sequence.
    goal of transcription
  23. it is paired with thymine in double-stranded DNA.
    Adenine
  24. carries the information needed to build a protein
    role of RNA
