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

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.
