4C Mutations
I can develop or use a model to describe why structural changes in genes (mutations) on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial or neutral effects to the organism.

activity 5: mutation virtual labPick up the Mutations Virtual Lab handout. You will be working in PAIRS for this activity. Go to the link below. The PROCEDURE will be in the LEFT HAND side of the screen. Be sure to read through the procedure and complete the virtual lab as instructed. Record data on your handout. Have your instructor check your work when you are finished.

activity 6: whole class mutation simulation
This activity we will be completing together in class.
activity 7: types of mutations & inherited DiseasesYou may work in PAIRS for this activity. Click on the link below. It will take you to an interactive diagram that explains different types of mutations, when the mutations occur and if those mutations will get passed on to the children. Take some GENERAL notes about how mutations get passed on to offspring in your Biology Notes Packet. Be sure to be able to explain the differences in mutations for cancer, cystic fibrosis, hemimegalencephaly and autism.

activity 8: The Latest ScienceYou will work in PAIRS for this activity. You now know that the genetic code in DNA codes for proteins. You also know that mutations in the genetic code can change the amino acids in those proteins. Watch the video below about Kimberly Ramirez. You will see how mutations can cause changes in protein that cause disease and what scientists can do to help patients with those diseases.
