Curated OER
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...
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
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.

Genes and Chromosomes
In this DNA instructional activity, students will review vocabulary about the structure and characteristics of DNA and the processes of replication and mutation. 3 true or false questions, 6 matching questions, 5 fill in the blank...
Curated OER
Squirrel Islands
In this adaptations worksheet, students read about 3 species that have changed over time to adapt to their environment. Students design a squirrel that has adapted to an island habitat that students are assigned. They describe the...
Curated OER
Chromosomes
For this chromosomes worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 33 questions about genetic mutation in chromosomes. They identify traits associated with certain genes.
Curated OER
Genetics - Critical Thinking
In this genetics worksheet, students review terms and processes associated with genetics. This worksheet has 2 multiple choice and 21 matching questions.
Curated OER
Why do we need Vitamin C in our diet? Or Why do we carry old inactive genes in our genome?
Students explore and explain how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may be silent or result in phenotypic change in an organism and in its offspring. They analyze how evolution and biodiversity are the result of genetic changes that...
Curated OER
Why Do We Need Vitamin C in Our Diet?
Pupils compare/contrast the DNA sequence data of the rat GULO gene to the inactive human GULO gene. They translate and align the sequences, and propose a scenario to explain the occurrence of an inactive DNA sequence to that of an active...
