Mutations
After studying DNA replication and the genetics of inheritance, this slide show is useful for explaining specific mutations that can happen and result in an illness. Sickle cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis are explained on a genetic...

Mutations
Are some mutations more damaging than others? An engaging simulation encourages scholars to alter DNA through insertion, deletion, and substitution. It then forms resulting amino acids—or not—and the resulting protein—or not—depending on...

Molecular Genetics of Color Mutations in Rock Pocket Mice
Can you identify mutations just by viewing DNA sequences? Scholars apply prior knowledge of DNA sequences to do just that in an engaging activity. They transcribe and translate genes, thus identifying the locations of mutations. Then,...
Curated OER
Mutations
The basics of mutation types and some potential effects of those are described and diagrammed here. Each detail is very clear and includes the labels and translation change exhibited. A great slideshow to expand on DNA replication issues.

Mutations Are Changes in Genetic Information
A red delicious apple tree with a simple mutation means we now benefit from the existence of golden delicious apples. Learn how simple mutations change genetic information in DNA sequences. Using biographies, videos, and animations,...
Curated OER
Mutations and Genetic Change
In this genetic mutations worksheet, students compare and contrast different types of mutations including point mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift mutations. This worksheet has 5 matching, 4 fill in the blank, and 3 short answer...
Curated OER
Mutations and Gene Regulation
Teenaged scientists can use this quiz or study guide to show off their understanding of genetic mutations and their causes; includes short answer, multiple choice, matching, and more.
Curated OER
DNA Mutations
In this DNA mutations worksheet, students translate DNA sequences in amino acid sequences and determine if the mutation is harmful or not. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
Evolution
Explore the concept of evolution and cell biology; your class can work in groups to use the internet to view websites on evolution, take a quiz, and complete a lab activity.
Curated OER
Genetics 4 Mutations
Young scholars identify and illustrate how changes in DNA cause mutations and evaluate the significance of these changes. They illustrate a chromosomal mutation such as duplication, deletion, inversion, and translocation.
Curated OER
Genetic Changes
In this genetic change worksheet, learners will explore the changes that can occur in DNA including point mutations and chromosomal mutations. This worksheet has 11 multiple choice questions.
