B.4.3 Construct a model to explain that the unique shape and function of each protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acids, and thus is determined by the sequence of the DNA that codes for this protein.
Learning Goals:
What are mutations and how are they caused.
Two major categories of mutations.
What are chromosomal alterations and its types.
Point mutations and their effects.

List one or two things that you learned from this activity.
How has your confidence changed regarding this concept after having completed this activity?
Directions:
Watch the video, to the left, and answer the following questions.
Pause and replay the video, as needed.
Everything is answered in the video.
Recommendations - First, watch and listen to the video all the way through without looking at the questions. Next, read the first question, play the video, again, listening for the answer. Pause the video when you need to answer the question. Finally, repeat this for the next question, etc.
When you are complete with the questions, be sure to complete the exit ticket on the next section, then submit this.
Warning - I know what the video states and what it does not state, do not attempt to use any other source other than this video. If you do, I will know it and you will not receive credit for that question.
What are mutations?
Mutations can eventually change what thing that is produced from the messenger RNA?
Are all mutations bad?
Define spontaneous mutations.
Provide an example of a spontaneous mutation.
Define, induced mutation.
Provide an example of an induced mutation.
Define, point mutation.
How do substitution mutations occur?
What can cells do to correct a substitution mutation?
What percent of time does the cell fix a substitution mutation correctly?
If a substitution mutation happens at some places in your DNA, it’s “not a big deal”. Where are those places?
How do insertion mutations occur?
Describe deletion mutations.
What the five types of large-scale mutations that the video describes?
