Description
In class today, students completed an activity where they tried to determine their own genetic code. Of course this is impossible; the real human genome is about 6 billion base pairs long. So our activity was a mixture of both fact and fiction.
Students went through each of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes and filled in on gene that can be found on each. For example, a gene for curly hair can be found on Chromosome 1, while there is a gene associated with “thrill seeking” located on Chromosome 11. Students went through the packet, analyzing their traits and filling in their code, and finished off with a self-portrait.

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.
