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
Squirrel Islands
In this adaptations worksheet, young scholars 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 young scholars are assigned. They...
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...
