Frameshift Mutations Presentation Description

This ready to present slide presentation uses visually engaging slides to simplify frameshift mutations for students. The slides introduce how codons are read by tRNA and reintroduce that genes, bases, and DNA code for traits. Diagrams are included that demonstrate the frameshifts caused by the process of insertion and deletions. Frameshift mutations are reinforced through simplified explanations that use sentences as an analogy. These changes are then compared to substitution mutations and the intensity of their effects are outlined through the sentences. A codon chart is provided in the slides to simplify students' search for amino acids.

Frameshift Mutation Worksheets Description

These activities are based on Bloom`s Taxonomy and work their way up in difficulty. Visual aids are used to helps students answer the questions. Two worksheets focus on nucleotide base pairing and identification of the mutation. The frameshifts are shown by the change in the base pairing. This experiential learning demonstrates the negative implications of insertion and deletions. The last worksheet is a show your knowledge worksheet that covers the theory behind gene substitutions. The worksheet covers topics such as comparing the intensity of chromosomal and gene mutations, comparing the different types of gene mutations and is based on bloom's taxonomy.

Students will

• Match Nucleotides and bases
• Identify and differentiate between the inversion, insertion, and deletion
• Learn Frameshifts through experiential learning
• Work their way up Bloom`s Taxonomy (RECALL - DEMONSTRATE - ANALYZE)
• Compare and contrast gene and chromosomal mutations
• Compare every type of gene mutation (insertion, deletion, inversion, Silent, Missense, Nonsense)
