Journal Entry:
Describe one type of genetic mutation and explain the effect of that mutation on the individual with it.
Learning Intentions
We will learn how alterations in a DNA sequence can lead to changes in the type or amount of the protein produced and the consequent phenotype.
We will learn the different types of mutations including base substitution, insertion, deletion, inversions and translocations.
We will learn how DNA mutations can be positive, negative or neutral based on the effect or the lack of effect they have on the resulting nucleic acid or protein and the phenotypes that are conferred by the protein.
Closing Task:
You can create a table that compare different genetic mutations and affect mutations have on the organisms.
Content Standards being covered:

IST-1.N Describe the mechanisms by which genetic information flows
from DNA to RNA to protein.
IST-1.O Explain how the phenotype of an organism is determined by its genotype
IST-2.E Describe the various types of mutation.
IST-4.A Explain how changes in genotype may result in changes in phenotype.
