Description
This remote learning ready, google slides lesson introduces students to the concepts of codons, mutations, and mutagens. Students learn about the four basic types of mutations (point, frameshift insertion, frameshift deletion, and inversion) and how to recognize them. Students separate a DNA strand into codons, then perform the task again while determining what DNA mutation has occurred between the first and second iteration of a strand. Students then are introduced to mutagens and follow the mutations in a human cell belonging to a man named "Bob" who keeps making poor health choices.
Finally, students research a real human genetic disease and report back on what type of mutation is (usually) responsible for causing it.
