Genetics - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. 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. O-the study of genes and traits passed onto offspring
    O-genetics
  2. B-an example of this would be rr; it needs both alleles to show up
    B-recessive trait
  3. B-father of genetics
    B-Gregor Mendel
  4. I-there are 23 pairs (or 46 total) of these in each cell in your body
    I-chromosomes
  5. G-it means different; shown by Aa
    G-heterozygous
  6. O-needs two parents; produces diverse offspring
    O-sexual
  7. N-carries the blueprint or genetic information for all living organisms
    N-DNA
  8. B-what organelle acts like the brain of a cell?
    B-nucleus
  9. N-puppies, baby horses, and humans are an example of this
    N-offspring
  10. O-a square diagram used to show all possible genotypes of an offspring
    O-punnett square
  11. N-offspring that is identical to the parent
    N-purebred
  12. G-needs only one parent; produces genetically identical offspring
    G-asexual
  13. I-the ones who pass on characteristics or traits
    I-parent
  14. B-a specific characteristic of an individual; ex: hair color
    B-trait
  15. O-the smallest functioning unit of an organism
    O-cells
  16. I-the genetic makeup of the organism, what we don't see
    I-genotype
  17. G-two kinds of this (asexual and sexual); produces offspring
    G-reproduction
  18. I-it means the same; shown by AA or aa
    I-homozygous
  19. N-the physical traits, what we see
    N-phenotype
  20. I-a mixture; an organism produced from two different species
    I-hybrid
  21. B-how many chromosomes are each human body cell has
    B-46
  22. O-an example of this would be RR or Rr; the trait that only needs one allele to show up
    O-dominant trait
  23. G-made up of DNA
    G-genes
  24. G-two or more different forms of a gene
    G-alleles
