The Biotic Factor

Part 1: Gene Mutations In the chart below, transcribe the DNA sequence into mRNA. Then use the codon chart (below) to indicate what amino acids are being coded for by the base sequences listed for the mRNA. Then, tell what type of gene mutation is being illustrated. Choose from point mutation and frameshift mutation.

Great activity to introduce the Periodic Table of Elements.

Cladograms are diagrams which depict the relationships between different groups of taxa called “clades”. By depicting these relationships, cladograms reconstruct the evolutionary history (phylogeny) of the taxa. Cladograms can also be called “phylogenies” or “trees”. Cladograms are constructed by grouping organisms together based on their shared derived characteristics.

Each trait that we possess has two alleles that code for it. One allele is from the female parent and one allele is from the male parent. The allele may be dominant, written with a capital letter, and always expressed if present. The allele may be recessive, written with a lowercase letter, and expressed only if both alleles are recessive.

The purpose of this lab is to identify different types of body symmetry that may be found in Kingdom Animalia. The types of symmetry discussed are Radial, Bilateral, and Asymmetrical. Also included in the discussion is Anterior, Posterior, Ventrical, and Dorsal ends. Students will also have to identify the Phylum of each organism.

This is an activity over "DNA: The Molecule of Heredity Worksheet". This is a good introduction to DNA Replication.

Arthropods are a group of animals in the Kingdom Animalia. All arthropods have a hard exoskeleton made of chitin, a body divided into segments, and jointed appendages

There are only four forces of evolution: mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. Read the definition of each force below.

Wanted Poster for a Virus Directions: You will be making a wanted poster for the disease you choose. You should do your assignment on the 8x11 sheet of cardstock provided by your teacher. The poster should include the following:

Experimental Vocabulary/Metric & Observation Lab Lesson: In groups of 2’s, students will work together to match the correct vocabulary term with definition. Students will use metric measurements Metric Lab: Students will use metric measurements to measure different objects and recording results. Observation Lab: Students will observe the behavior of a Pill bug and answer questions pertaining to the Pill bug.

Ex. - Which fraction model below represents 6 x 13 or 6 groups of13?

This is an EOC Review over Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.

Genetics is the study of how traits such as hair color, eye color, and risk for disease are passed “inherited” from parents to their children. Genetics influence how these inherited traits can be different from person to person. Your genetic information is called your genetic code or “genome.” Your genome is made up of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid or “DNA” and is stored in almost every cell in your body. This unit has activities and assessments that covers Genetics and Heredity.
