Grade 9 Science
Biology: Reproduction
305-05Compare factors that may lead to changes in a cell’s genetic information:-Mutations caused by nature-Mutations caused by human
Mutations: how they happen and their effects
Mutations are changes in DNA
Usually made _________ They can be useful, harmful
or have no effect _________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GieZ3pk9YVo
Mutations are…
Certain events can increase the probability of mutation
Radiation: _________ Temperature extremes:
_________ Chemical exposure: _________
Environmental causes
Mutations within the genes can happen in different ways
Reversal: _________ Deletion: _________ Duplication: _________ Replacement: _________
Different Kinds of Mutations
_________ _________ Frequently used: cows, sheep,
goats and pigs To make: milk proteins,
medicine, blood clotting factors https://www.youtube.com/

When we manipulate the genetics of an organism by inserting genes from another
Animals can be used to create large complex proteins for human to use
How it happens: _________
Transgenics
1. What is a gene?2. What is a mutation? Why is it important? What can cause it
happen?3. What are some examples of ways chromosomes mutate?4. Do some research, how can a transgenic organism be used?5. It is estimated that every human carries between 5 and 8 harmful
genes. Why do you think that more people are not born with inherited diseases?
Practice Questions 1
The class will be divided into 2 groups
The topic is “Genetically Modified Foods”: Yes or No?
You will need to research what exactly is s Genetically Modifiied food, and find out if it is good or bad for us
Also, find out what modified foods we eat hear in the UAE
(feel free to bring in video aids)
Debate!
1. Research the Human Genome Project. What is it? What is it’s purpose? How can it help?
2. Research transgenics: what are some human proteins that can be produced by bacteria?
3. Research transgenics: what are some human proteins that can be produced by cows , sheep or pigs?
4. Why do you think that bacteria is used for some but not for all proteins?
