[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A complete, illustrated article describing DNA mutations and how they relate to cancer.

Constructing phylogenetic trees may be a daunting task for students, but this lesson plan is a simulation of what molecular biologists must do to determine relationships. This plan is for students who have a good grasp of DNA structure...

This lab illustrates how the order of nucleotides in DNA determines the order of amino acids in proteins. Relates DNA function to that of RNAand provides an exercise to demonstrate how mutations may occur. Includes a lesson plan and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The process of DNA replication is not always 100% accurate. Sometimes the wrong base is inserted in the new strand of DNA. This wrong base could become permanent. A...

A complete, student-led lesson on cell structure, cell division, and cancer growth. 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...

This lesson will explain how cancer is caused by a gene mutation. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Cancer."

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Students will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.
