Gene Expression and Modeling Activities

The video tutorial covers the application of gene knowledge to various scenarios, focusing on Actinid-3 and Darwin's bark spiders. It includes a warm-up activity with a diagram, a modeling tool activity to explore gene-trait relationships, and a study on actinin-3 protein's role in running ability. The lesson concludes with homework instructions and an optional self-assessment.

What is the main focus of the warm-up activity in the lesson?

• Discussing gene mutations

• Dragging words into a diagram

• Watching a video on gene editing

• Reading a scientific article

Which terms are emphasized during the modeling tool activity?

• Gene versions, heterozygous, homozygous, traits, and proteins

• Cell division and mitosis

• Chromosome mapping and sequencing

• Gene mutations and DNA replication

What are students encouraged to do with the chapter two question during the modeling tool activity?

• Write a poem about it

• Create a video presentation

• Discuss it with a partner or someone they know

• Ignore it

What is the main goal of using the modeling tool in the lesson?

• To analyze human DNA

• To create a new gene sequence

• To show why spider offspring have different traits for silk flexibility

• To study plant genetics

What is the role of the actinin-3 protein according to Dr. Sattari's letter?

• It regulates blood sugar levels

• It helps in DNA replication

• It assists in muscle contraction for faster running

• It is responsible for eye color

What gene versions are identified for running ability in the lesson?

• A1 and A2

• C1 and C2

• B1 and B2

• D1 and D2

What conclusion can be drawn about runner one's genes based on the proteins found in her cells?

• Runner one has no actinin-3 proteins

• Runner one is heterozygous for the A2 gene

• Runner one is homozygous for the A1 gene

• Runner one is heterozygous for the A1 gene

What is the purpose of revisiting the anticipation guide in the homework?

• To create a new diagram

• To memorize scientific terms

• To reflect on previous responses and provide evidence for current views

• To write a summary of the lesson

What is the optional task mentioned at the end of the lesson?

• Completing a self-assessment

• Writing a research paper

• Conducting an experiment

• Creating a presentation

What are students expected to do after reading the articles in the homework?

• Write a book report

• Answer questions related to the articles

• Create a video summary

• Design a poster
