GENETICS - 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.

  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. deletion
  5. apoptosis A genetically controlled program of cell death, activated as part of normal development or as a result of cell damage.
  6. A chromosomal mutation, also referred to as a deficiency, involving the loss of chromosomal material.
  7. A genetic cross involving two characters in which the parents possess different forms of each character (e.g., yellow, wrinkled peas).
  8. The nonreciprocal interaction between nonallelic genes such that one gene influences or interferes with the expression of another gene, leading to a specific phenotype.
  9. codon
  10. (n) The number of homologous chromosome pairs characteristic of an organism or species.
  11. Organisms having true nuclei and membranous organelles and whose cells divide by mitosis and meiosis.
  12. 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.
  13. See messenger RNA
  14. Random variation in allele frequency from generation to generation, most often observed in small populations.\
  15. An enzyme that participates in DNA replication by unwinding the double helix near the replication fork.

  19. The separation of chromosomes during the anaphase stage of cell division.
  20. diploid
  21. A statistical test to determine whether or not an observed set of data is equivalent to a theoretical expectation.
