Journal Entry:
What are some ways DNA sequences can be changed? What affect do you think those changes have on protein synthesis?
Learning Intentions
You can apply knowledge about DNA and RNA structure, DNA replication and protein synthesis to answer questions on a formative assessment.
You will learn that alterations in a DNA sequence can lead to changes in the type or amount of the protein produced and the consequent phenotype.
You will learn different types of mutations including base substitution, insertion, deletion, inversion.
You will learn that 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 assess your understanding of DNA replication and protein synthesis on a formative assessment.
You can model the process of Transcription and Translation with your classmates to create a written message.
