This is a lesson I used myself to teach the Genetic Mutations concept of the Control of Gene Expression unit, unit 8. - A level Biology, AQA specification.
Learning objective: To understand how different types of gene and chromosomal mutations alter proteins and influence an organism’s phenotype, and to explain how mutagenic agents increase the rate of mutation.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Success criteria:
SC1: Describe the main types of genetic mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion, inversion, duplication, and translocation) and their effects on protein structure.
SC2: Explain how changes in polypeptides can affect enzyme function and phenotype (e.g. TYR gene mutation causing albinism).
SC3: Analyse how physical, chemical, and biological mutagenic agents can increase mutation rates and impact genetic variation in populations.
Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. The mark scheme is also included to verify answers.
Powerpoint contains 22 slides and 6 past paper questions.
