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 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
  2. one of the alternative forms of a gene
    allele
  3. a change in the DNA sequence of an organism
    mutation
  4. observable traits
    phenotype
  5. a type of mutation that involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a segment of DNA.
    deletion
  6. molecule that determines the traits that an individual inherits
    DNA
  7. Thymine
    it is paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA
  8. the genetic constitution of an individual organism/an organism's complete set of genes
    genotype
  9. the "rungs" of the ladder in a DNA molecule
    bases
  10. having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
    homozygous
  11. having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
    heterozygous
