During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complimentary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown below lists the amino acids coded for by particular triads of mRNA bases. A segment of DNA has undergone a mutation in which one nucleotide has been changed. The original sequence was ACG and the new sequence is ACA. Use the codon table to determine whether or not this mutation will cause a change in the phenotype of the organism.
A. yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because a new amino acid will be coded for. B. yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because any change in the DNA sequence will cause a change in phenotype. C. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur. D. It is impossible to determine if a change in phenotype will occur using only the DNA sequence.
What about these questions do you
think students struggled with the
most?

• Instructional Practices Teaching from a range of complex text is optimized when teachers in all subject areas implement the following strategies on a routine basis: Ensuring wide reading from complex text that varies in length.
• Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons.
• Emphasizing text-specific complex questions, and cognitively complex tasks, reinforce focus on the text and cultivate independence.
• Emphasizing students supporting answers based upon evidence from the text.
• Providing extensive research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
• Science and Engineering Practices (NRC Framework for K-12 Science Education, 2010) Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering).
• Developing and using models. • Planning and carrying out investigations. • Analyzing and interpreting data. • Using mathematics, information and computer
technology, and computational thinking. • Constructing explanations (for science) and
designing solutions (for engineering). • Engaging in argument from evidence. • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating
information.

something they can use)• Capitalize on the literacy standards and embed reading and writing to
enhance understanding

Why do we need to write?
One often-overlooked tool for improving students’ reading, as well as their learning from text, is writing. Writing has the
theoretical potential for enhancing reading in three ways. First, reading and writing are both functional activities that
can be combined to accomplish specific goals, such as learning new ideas presented in a text (Fitzgerald and Shanahan,
2000). For instance, writing about information in a science text should facilitate comprehension and learning, as it
provides the reader with a means for recording, connecting, analyzing, personalizing, and manipulating key ideas from
the text. Second, reading and writing are connected, as they draw upon common knowledge and cognitive processes
(Shanahan, 2006). Consequently, improving students’ writing skills should result in improved reading skills. Third,
reading and writing are both communication activities, and writers should gain insight about reading by creating their
own texts (Tierney and Shanahan, 1991), leading to better comprehension of texts produced by others.
