Description

Today we covered one of the more interesting topics within Unit 3: genetic mutations. We explained that genetic mutations can be defined as “a genetic mistake; a permanent change in the DNA code, such that the code differs from its parents.” We then discussed the two types of mutations (hereditary and acquired), what can cause them (sunburns, X-rays, smoking, etc.), and what the effects can be (aging, cancer, genetic diseases, etc.) At the end of class, we played a game where students rolled dice, picked a card, and added mutations to their genetic codes on Page 305. Copies of the genetic mutation cards and today’s PowerPoint can be found below.

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.
