Lesson: Environmental Effects on Gene Expression Biology • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the effect of light intensity on the production and expression of chlorophyll genes.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

recall that a gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein or another functional unit,
recall the role of chloroplasts in a plant,
outline the effect of light intensity on the synthesis and expression of chlorophyll,
describe a simple experiment to show how light intensity affects chlorophyll synthesis and expression.
