AQA Year 12 Biology - Section 4. Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms - Topic: Genetic Diversity - Lesson 9.1 Gene Mutation.

This lesson plan and PowerPoint presentation includes all the student led activities (all in one file!) required to achieve the following learning objectives:

1) Describe gene mutations
2) Explain how deletion and substitution of bases result in different amino acid sequences in polypeptides
3) Explain why some mutations do not result in a changed amino acid sequence
4) Describe what chromosome mutations are

The lesson includes: integrated progress checks and integrated answers in the PowerPoint; there are information slides with keywords for learning identified clearly; activity questions with differentiation - answers included for peer or self-assessment; exam questions (in a printable format) with integrated answers in the PowerPoint.
