I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. The information stored in DNA as being used to make proteins
A. Content Standards
2. How changes in a DNA molecule may cause changes in its product
3. Mutations that occur in sex cells as being heritable
The learners shall be able to:
Option 1. Demonstrate the process of protein synthesis through role-playing.
Option 2. Explain the importance DNA as the code of life by creating a fictitious
B. Performance organism.
Standards Option 3: Compose a letter to the parents of the patients explaining their findings in
the Karyotyping activity.
Option 4. Interview parents in the community having children with genetic
Disorder.
C. Learning Explain how mutations may cause changes in the structure and function of a protein.

lesson

Present a normal human karyotype

C. Presenting

of the new lesson

QUESTIONS:
1. What is the purpose of a karyotype? What information does it tell you?
2. How is karyotyping done?

3. Is this karyotype for a male or female? How can you tell?

4. Does this karyotype have the correct total number of chromosomes and chromosome
pairs?
3. Since we are dealing with human karyotypes, how many matched pairs of chromosomes
would you expect to see for a female? For a male?

GROUP ACTIVITY: HUMAN KARYOTYPING

Teacher Tasks: 1. Divide the class into 6 groups.
2. Hand out envelopes with cut karyotypes to each group. Tell
them, “We have been studying the genetics of plants, but
we’ll be looking at humans today. Today you will play the

Learners Tasks:
practicing new
skills #1 1. Match the chromosomes in your envelope and order them by size. The
longest chromosome is called number 1 and the shortest is called number 22.
The last pair of chromosomes is the sex chromosomes.
2. Glue your karyotypes to a clean sheet of paper.
3. Analyze and compare the karyotype made by your group with the karyotype
of a normal person. Write your observations in the worksheet.
GALLERY WALK
Post the Disorder Fact Sheets on the walls of the classroom. Have learners do the gallery
