Need a quick review on the general concepts of mutations in your DNA unit? This worksheet can be used as an exit ticket, homework, review sheet, study guide, whatever you need!

This review sheet has 3 sections in which students apply their understanding in different ways! First students will match 8 vocabulary terms with their definitions. Then students will compare two mutated DNA strands to an original strand by transcribing and translating the DNA and figure out what type of mutation it is. Lastly, students will summarize which of the mutations they think are more detrimental - point or frameshift.

The terms that are covered in this resource are:

DNA

mRNA

Amino Acids

Point Mutations
