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.

  30. A mutation that changes a codon specifying an amino acid into a termination codon, leading to premature termination during translation of mRNA.
  31. dihybrid cross
  32. One of the possible alternative forms of a gene, often distinguished from other alleles by phenotypic effects.

  49. genetic drift
  50. chromatin

  52. A carrier is a person who can pass an inherited (genetic) disease on to their children but who does not have the disease.
  53. A selective force that changes the frequency of an allele in a given direction, either toward fixation or toward elimination.
  54. 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.
  55. broad-sense heritability
  56. A genetic cross involving two characters in which the parents possess different forms of each character (e.g., yellow, wrinkled peas).
  57. nonsense mutation
  58. A statistical test to determine whether or not an observed set of data is equivalent to a theoretical expectation.
  59. haploid number
  60. A form of cell division producing two progeny cells identical genetically to the parental cell—that is, the production of two cells from one, each having the same chromosome complement as the parent cell.
