Tools for this Unit:

Activity 2:

The behavioral objectives for this activity include: (1) students will learn the similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis, (2) students will learn the role of DNA in protein synthesis as it relates to gene expression, (3) students will learn how mutations can affect how a trait is expressed.

Students will work in groups of three. They will act out the process of DNA replication and transcription by having different groups of students represent the nucleotides involved. After students simulate the process they should diagram the steps and write a description of the roles played by individual students in the simulation.
