Coloring the pictures
accurately
Partial coloring of
the pictures
One picture fully
colored, the second
is not colored
Both pictures
colored with many
errors
The 2 pictures are
colored with some
errors
All the colors are in
the appropriate
locations
Compare and
contrast the 2
pictures
Student shows
pictures and
sequences with little
to no reasoning of
the similarities or
differences.
Student can explain
that there is a
similarity and/or
difference between
the 2 pictures.
Student can explain
that there are a
similarities and/or
differences between
the 2 pictures, and
that it is related to a
mutation.
Student can explain
that there is a
similarity and/or
difference between
the 2 pictures, and
relate it to the
change in the DNA,
RNA, or Amino acid
sequence.
Student can explain
that there are a
similarities and
differences between
the 2 pictures, and
relate it to the
mutation in the DNA.
The student will also
discuss how the DNA
mutation has altered
the RNA and Amino
acid sequences
