Essential Question: Should Humans be allowed to use genetics to alter the way life functions?
****ADD A FOLDER TO YOUR PORTFOLIO TITLED "3.1 DNA And Cells." AND SAVE ALL WORK IN YOUR FOLDER****
Goal Standard: Students will understand that organisms reproduce and transmit genetic information (genes) to offspring, which influences individuals’ traits in the next generation.

Gizmo: DNA ANalysis (Must-do)
Each student will make a copy of the assignment and upload the finished product to their DNA and Cells folder. You may collaborate with a partner, but all submitted work must be in your own words (that means phrased DIFFERENTLY than you partner, not copied). Be sure to read all instructions carefully and ask your teacher questions if you don't understand what to do.

NOTE: You might need to allow adobe flash to play
Use the game to practice matching the correct base pairs. See how far you can get then answer the following questions on a google doc.
Use the game to practice matching the correct base pairs. See how far you can get then answer the following questions on a google doc.
What are A's, T's, C's, and G's? What do they do for your body/cells as part of your DNA?
In the game you controlled the scientist that had to make sure that the proper base pairs were matched up with one another. What process in your body ensures that A pairs with T, and C pairs with G?
What is nuclease (those big blobs you needed to avoid) in real life? Why do you think you needed to avoid them?
What happens when a base is matched with the wrong base pair? Can your body fix it? What does it cause?
Creating a Cell Cycle Wheel (Should-Do)
Creating a Cell Cycle Wheel (Should-Do)
Create a wheel that you can use to practice the steps of the cell cycle. Use the following directions to help you do this! Take a picture of your wheel and submit it in your folder to get credit for this assignment.

Click on the Cell Cycle Cut Out and print it.
On the full circle, draw the cell cycle by using lines to split up the cycle into its individual phases. Use the picture above to help but know you will need to use additional resources too.
Make sure to include the following:
a. the name of each stage
b. a small description of what is happening there
c. note where the cell is spending the majority of its life (interphase or cell division)
Cut out both the cell cycle you created and the cover page.
Use a brad or paper clip to pin the cover page to the cell cycle by laying the cover page on top of the cell cycle. Make sure the two center dots line up, and stick the brad/paper clip through the center dot so the cove page can spin.
