This document provides learning materials on heredity and genetics for a 10th grade science class. It includes activities and questions to help students understand how protein is made from DNA information, and how mutations can cause changes in protein structure and function. The first activity involves building a DNA model to demonstrate replication. The second has students labeling DNA and RNA components in a comparison table. The third analyzes gene sequences to identify mutations. The document explains the central dogma of biology and how DNA is transcribed into RNA and translated into protein. It also describes different types of genetic mutations and their effects.
