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.

  1. interference
  2. A genetic cross involving two characters in which the parents possess different forms of each character (e.g., yellow, wrinkled peas).
  3. The study of the effects of reversible chemical modifications to DNA and/or histones on the pattern of gene expression. Epigenetic modifications do not alter the nucleotide sequence of DNA.
  4. epigenetics
  5. See messenger RNA
  6. codon
  7. The specialized heterochromatic chromosomal region at which sister chromatids remain attached after replication, and the site to which spindle fibers attach to the chromosome during cell division. The location of the centromere determines the sh
  8. 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.
  9. deletion
  10. eukaryotes
  11. (n) The number of homologous chromosome pairs characteristic of an organism or species.
  12. A selective force that changes the frequency of an allele in a given direction, either toward fixation or toward elimination.
  13. duplication
  14. epistasis
  15. 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.
  16. (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
  17. In bacteria, a DNA molecule containing the organism’s genome; in eukaryotes, a DNA molecule complexed with RNA and proteins to form a threadlike structure containing genetic information arranged in a linear sequence; a structure that is visible d
  18. DNA helicase
  19. A chromosomal aberration in which a segment of the chromosome is repeated.
  20. null hypothesis

  24. DNA gyrase
  25. dihybrid cross
  26. allele
  27. genetic drift
  28. diploid

  35. nonsense mutation
  36. The separation of chromosomes during the anaphase stage of cell division.
  37. One of the possible alternative forms of a gene, often distinguished from other alleles by phenotypic effects.

  54. apoptosis
  55. A carrier is a person who can pass an inherited (genetic) disease on to their children but who does not have the disease.
  56. A mutation that changes a codon specifying an amino acid into a termination codon, leading to premature termination during translation of mRNA.
