Lesson 7: Mutations
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Explain how changes in genotype can result in changes in phenotype, and describe the various types of mutations and their potential effects on protein structure.
Why are frameshift mutations (insertions/deletions) typically much more destructive to a protein's function than point mutations (substitutions)?
How can a mutation occur in a gene but have absolutely no effect on the resulting protein's phenotype?
6.5-Regulation of Gene Expression
6.6-Mutations
Categorize different types of DNA mutations and predict how changes in a nucleotide sequence can alter the final shape, stability, and function of a protein.
