Inheritance Patterns & Human Genetics
Students will distinguish between sex chromosomes and autosomes, the role of chromosomes in sex determination, how an X- or Y- linked gene influences the characteristics of inheritance, the result of crossing-over based upon the genes that are in linkage groups, … Continue reading

Making Proteins!
Students will make four different protein molecules that are based upon a segment of the DNA, i.e., a gene, using the processes of transcription and translation. Furthermore, students will analyze their work by commenting upon their process of protein synthesis.
