In this activity, students learn about gene expression and how different genes are active and inactive in different tissues of the body. They will also explore how microarrays work, and will explore the relationships that exist between gene expression and cancer as well as epigenetics. As part of this tidbit, students will work in groups to complete a worksheet as the activity progresses, watch...
This activity is designed to help students with the concepts of mitosis and meiosis. Specifically, the activity is designed to help students learn the different recognized stages of mitosis, differentiate homologous and nonhomologous chromosomes and recognize sister chromatids (duplicated chromosomes). In addition, students complete an activity in which they simulate/model the process of meiosis,...
This is a one-day teachable unit with pre and post-class activities. Materials in this teachable unit are geared towards introducing epigenetics as a form of non-genetic inheritance to students who have little or no prior knowledge of epigenetics. Students are however expected to have a basic understanding of the central dogma: replication, transcription, translation, and their regulatory...
