I actually used this assignment as a make-up assignment for absent students. It worked out well. Good resource.

Description

**Distance Learning and Remote Learning Appropriate

This reading comprehension explores genetic This article explores genetic disorders. It provides a great real-world application to a genetic unit, which gives students meaning and purpose to their classroom learning. It is exciting and applicable to modern-day science progressions. The article is written in friendly and engaging language. The article is a little more than a page long and includes standards-aligned comprehension and analyses questions. The article can be used for literacy groups, individual DEAR or homework reinforcement..

NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSMS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
