Lesson: Genetic and Chromosomal Mutations Biology

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to define what a mutation is, recognize various types of mutations, and state some potential impacts of mutations.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

define mutation as a change in the DNA base sequence,
state the potential effects of mutations on proteins produced as being beneficial, neutral, or harmful,
recognize substitution, insertion, and deletion gene mutations,
recognize duplication, inversion, and deletion chromosomal mutations,
distinguish between spontaneous mutations and induced mutations.
