GENETUC - 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.

  2. epigenetics
  3. A triplet of messenger RNA (mRNA) nucleotides that specifies a particular amino acid or a start or stop signal in the genetic code. Sixty-one codons specify the amino acids used in proteins, and three codons, called stop codons (UAG, UAA, UGA), s
  4. interference
  5. An enzyme that participates in DNA replication by unwinding the double helix near the replication fork.
  6. The complex of DNA, RNA, histones, and nonhistone proteins that make up uncoiled chromosomes, characteristic of the eukaryotic interphase nucleus.
  7. (I) A measure of the degree to which one crossover affects the incidence of another crossover in an adjacent region of the same chromatid. Negative interference increases the chance of another crossover; positive interference reduces the probabi
  8. () The contribution of the genotypic variance responsible for the phenotypic variation of a trait observed in a population.
  9. electrophoresis
  10. One of the possible alternative forms of a gene, often distinguished from other alleles by phenotypic effects.

  16. centromere
  17. eukaryotes
  18. mitosis
  19. A mutational event leading to the insertion or deletion (indels) of a number of base pairs in a gene that is not a multiple of three. This shifts the codon reading frame in all codons that follow the mutational site.
