Standard 4 Review Sheet-Genetics and Inheritance

Human biology or genetics learners apply their knowledge to a unique situation: two newborn baby girls being possibly switched in the hospital. The engaging activity ends with a Punnett squares assignment in which pupils...

A handout on genetic inheritance begins with a reading on alleles and how they can result in albinism. Junior geneticists learn to complete Punnett squares and participate in a coin toss simulation of allele pairing. They also learn...

Your honors or college-level biologists will appreciate how protein synthesis is presented in this PowerPoint. Steps of DNA transcription and diagrams are included to teach them about this vital concept. Use this to follow lessons about...

Only about two percent of DNA codes for protein. The video walks through the process of protein synthesis. It breaks down both transcription and translation into multiple steps. 

The picture of the DNA double helix provides a logical start to describing how the base pairs match up and how the order codes for a chain of protein molecules—three billion of these base pairs code for any protein present in your body....

Students study DNA decoding and protein synthesis. They use the amino acid table to translate DNA, break DNA strands into three nucleotide codes, and translate nucleotides into amino acid protein codes. They research the importance of...

High schoolers describe the structure of DNA and its components and can comprehend that real DNA and its cartoon representation are very different. They are able to link DNA to genetic make-up.

The purpose of 75% of the human genome letters is still unknown. Is it unnecessary information or does it have a key to important information in human genetics? The lesson animation is a visual reference to the massive amount of...

Did you know that your DNA can be damaged tens of thousands of times per day? Learn about the ways that damage to just one strand of your DNA can be fixed, or in extreme examples, result in genetic mutation such as cancer. 

Scientists work every day to find solutions to genetic diseases. Scholars learn about the process of gene sequencing, mutations, and the results. They explore genetic diseases and therapies to intervene and help and, through case...
