DNA is the key to human life. When DNA is corrupted, changes occur in specific parts of the organism. Some of these changes can be fatal while others are beneficial. In this lesson we will look at the process of DNA mutation and how it impacts proteins produced by the organism. You will research different genetic disorders and empathize with the impacts they have on your body.StandardsBIO.B.2.1 Compare Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance.

In this experience you will be looking at the life work of Gregor Mendel, a simple monk who is now considered the father of modern genetics. His work provides the backbone for our understanding of why we inherit traits from our parents. Through this seminar you will be asked to reflect on how genes are transferred. In addition, you will reflect on the life of Mendel, as he received no credit for incredible work during his lifetime.BIO.B.1.2Explain how genetic information is inherited.
Mendel was the father of genetics, but he wasn’t the final source …
Mendel was the father of genetics, but he wasn’t the final source of all information about the topic. After Mendel’s time we learned a great deal about genetics. Some of this information seemed to conflict with some of the information Mendel gleaned from his pea plants. We call this Non-Mendelian genetics. This lesson will challenge you to compare the concepts before and after Mendel and reflect on how you have inherited traits.StandardsBIO.B.2.1 Compare Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance.

In this project, you will explore a real-world problem, and then work through a series of steps to analyze that problem, research ways the problem could be solved, then propose a possible solution to that problem. Often, there are no specific right or wrong solutions, but sometimes one particular solution may be better than others. The key is making sure you fully understand the problem, have researched some possible solutions, and have proposed the solution that you can support with information / evidence.Begin by reading the problem statement in Step 1. Take the time to review all the information provided in the statement, including exploring the websites, videos and / or articles that are linked. Then work on steps 2 through 8 to complete this problem-based learning experience.
