Draw Mutation This activity can be modified to draw an illustration and demonstrate what can happen to the phenotype of an organism when there is a mutation in its DNA. Materials Strips of DNA with instructions with and without mutations (see tables) DNA without mutation TAA GCG CCC TTT CTA Instruction Draw a big circle Inside the big circle draw two eyes On each side of the big circle draw 2 semi circles Below the eyes draw a nose Draw a lip below the nose DNA with mutation TAA GCT TTT CTA Instruction Draw a big circle Inside the big circle draw uneven eyes Below the eyes draw a nose Draw a lip below the nose Activity Instructions 1.) Each group of students will choose on part of the activity they going to perform. 2. Read the DNA and then follow its instructions. 3.) This chosen group activity will be performed by members through pair and share on a half sheet of paper. 4.) Each student needs to read his or her DNA code and then follow the instructions, passing down the table to take turns in following each instructions.
