Goals Identification of organization of DNA molecule and folding structure to form a chromosome. Identification in changes in the structure of the DNA molecule and chromosome (mutations) and to identify the connection between mutation and evolution
Course Content Identification of molecular organization, function, structure of DNA. Identification of mutation. Describe mutation types, the factors that cause mutations. Explaining the relationship between cancer and evolutionary change
Learning Outcomes - Observes the structure of chromosomes and the different types of chromosomes
- Learns mutation definition, different mutation classifications, mutation types according to mutation classifications
- Analyzes mutations in chromosome structure and number. Establishes a relationship between mutations and evolution and formation of new species
- Learns classification of gene mutations, the occurrence and impact on living organisms
- Understands the relationship between mutations and cancer
