Description
We did a quick lesson today on how scientists detect, study, and classify genes. We defined a gene as “a portion of the DNA code that leads to the expression of a specific trait.” After that, students traveled around the classroom trying to discover various genes. And they did it in a similar fashion to how a scientist would: they compared the DNA of people who had a trait vs. those who did not. Then they wrote down which chromosome, and where on that chromosome, the gene could be found.

NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSMS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
