Mendelian Genetics Activity

Walter P. Suza

Activity/Lab   2023-08-03   Agriculture, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Genetics & Genomics, Life Sciences  Suza, Genetics, Agriculture, and Biotechnology

This applied learning activity has been developed to reinforce learners' understanding of 1) gene action and differences that can exist between populations from crosses; and 2) segregation patterns following self-fertilization from F1 generation to F2 generation.


Mutations and Mendelian Genetics

Walter P. Suza, Shuizhang Fei

Activity/Lab   2023-08-01   Agriculture, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Genetics & Genomics, Life Sciences  Suza, Genetics, Agriculture, and Biotechnology

This applied learning activity has been developed to reinforce learners' understanding of 1) gene action and differences that can exist between populations from crosses and their reciprocal crosses; 2) segregation patterns following self-fertilization from generation to generation; and the use of Chi-square test of hypothesis and interpretation of results.


Gene expression (Transcription) and gene regulation

Walter P. Suza

Activity/Lab   2023-08-01   Agriculture, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Genetics & Genomics, Life Sciences  Suza, Genetics, Agriculture, and Biotechnology

In this applied learning activity, learners are asked to think about how gene transcription is turned on, dive into some of the details of mRNA processing, and reflect on their learning of this process.


ChatGPT DNA Activity

Walter P. Suza

Activity/Lab   2023-08-01   Agriculture, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Genetics & Genomics, Life Sciences  Suza, Genetics, Agriculture, and Biotechnology

This applied learning activity, tied to Chapter 2 in the associated textbook, asks learners to think about how plants work, dive into some of the details, and reflect on their learning of this process. They are asked to query AI for the interconnectedness of specific DNA structure and functions terms. They are then asked to evaluate the response generated by AI using what they have learned from [...]


Application of Recombinant DNA Technologies

Walter P. Suza

Activity/Lab   2023-08-01   Agriculture, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Genetics & Genomics, Life Sciences  Suza, Genetics, Agriculture, and Biotechnology

This applied learning activity has been developed to reinforce learners' understanding of 1) DNA separation on an agarose gel, 2) the restriction enzymes in the analysis of DNA polymorphism, and 3) polymerase chain reaction (PCR), while emphasizing the importance of recombinant DNA technologies in crop improvement.


Regulation of Gene Expression

Walter P. Suza

Activity/Lab   2023-08-01   Agriculture, Agronomy, Biotechnology, Genetics & Genomics, Life Sciences  Suza, Genetics, Agriculture, and Biotechnology

This applied learning activity has been developed to reinforce students’ understanding of gene expression and how the biological activity encoded by a gene is regulated, while emphasizing that gene expression involves DNA transcription to mRNA, and mRNA translation to protein.
