  • Description - List three key points or implications of what you read.

    • Causes of Mutations

    • Effects of Mutations

    • Types of Mutations

    1. What did you learn about about the causes of genetic variation?

    There are different kinds of mutations

    The external chemicals that cause mutations cause the DNA to break down, what causes the mutation is when the cell tries to repair the DNA and makes a mistake.


    1. How does this information help you address your research question?

    It creates a basic level of understanding of DNA and mutations. This will help explain the reasons for the information I find in the next sources.

  • Description - Respond to the following questions or prompts:

    1. List three key points or implications of what you read.

    • The genetic damage caused by the radiation at Chernobyl

    • What should authorities be doing to lessen the affects

    • Genomic instability

    1. What did you learn about about the causes of genetic variation?

    The genetic damage caused by the radiation affects the future generations of the bloodline more than it affects the original.


    1. How does this information help you address your research question?

    It states some of the effects from radiation.]]>     2015-11-30 15:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mgriffin17/mgriffin/wish/83940505     Topic Article #3: Microevolution mgriffin17 https://padlet.com/mgriffin17/mgriffin/wish/84227323

    1. Description - List three key points or implications of what you read.

    • What is a Microevolution?

    • Detecting Microevolutionary Change

    • Mechanisms of Microevolution


    1. What did you learn about about the causes of genetic variation?

    Mutations and Natural Selection are forms of Microevolution.

    1. How does this information help you address your research question?

    Radiation could cause a mutation in plant or animal to evolve to survive different amounts of radiation.
