The average AP Biology score dropped in 2018 with the addition of more data tables and graphs. Offer additional practice free-response questions by using the questions from the 2018 AP exam covering phylogenetic trees, cell structure and...

You've probably spent plenty of time discussing animal adaptations with your young biologists, but what about human adaptations? Explore the evolving traits of humankind through an interactive that combines text and video clips. Scholars...

How do doctors fight a virus that's constantly mutating? Show science scholars how we fight HIV using one of its own most fundamental processes through a thoughtful demonstration. The lesson focuses on how protease inhibitors prevent HIV...

What's the link between lactase persistence and dairy farming? Biology scholars analyze data to find evidence of the connection, then relate this to human adaptation. Working individually and in small groups, learners view short video...

Questions related to processes of cell division, differentiation, and specialization.

Practice questions over genetic mutations- Passage 1.

Read this passage and complete a five-question quiz pertaining to collagen mutations resulting in Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

Mutations can cause a permanent change in the DNA of an organism. Over many generations, organisms have adapted through mutation which involves small changes between organisms which may allow that organism to compete better for survival....

Given illustrations or partial DNA sequences, students will identify changes in DNA and the significance of these changes.

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

Explore natural selection by controlling the environment and causing mutations in bunnies.

This is a great lesson plan that combines Karoytypes and evolution. Students will recognize that the chromosomes of chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar, then correlate that to their evolutionary relationship.

This article contains information on how DNA is repaired to prevent mutated damage from interrupting DNA processes.

This lesson plan focuses on differences in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins. They use the number of differences to create a phylogenetic tree.

Amber Yates dives into the science of the malignant sickle-cell mutation.
