Lesson 2: Webercise
Lesson 2 is the most interactive portion of this unit. It serves as a review of lesson 1 and introduces mutations as a source of genetic variation. In this lesson students will engage in various online activities via a "webercise" - a guided interactive online exercise. As part of the lesson, students will investigate the effects of known genetic mutations in humans and create a document summarizing the role of DNA, RNA, proteins, mutations, and cellular structure and function in a human disease.
