Give your biology students a focused look at mutations and their effects with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Sample questions include "What type of mutation results in a change from the original amino acid to a different one?", "Which mutation type can cause a change in the reading frame if one nucleotide is added?", and "Which of the following mutations is least likely to affect protein function?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a complete NGSS aligned biology unit. The unit also covers Introduction to Heredity and Traits, DNA The Molecule of Life, Gregor Mendel Father of Genetics, Genes, Chromosomes, and Alleles, Understanding Punnett Squares, and Complex Patterns of Inheritance, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 biology classes, and for NGSS aligned review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-LS3-1.
