In this activity, students are exposed to some of the most significant biomolecules currently exploited by technology and identify their natural origins. They also explain the significance of the roles these biomolecules play in nature, as well as for humans. Specifically, students work to develop a logical process for a real-life application of biotechnology (insulin production) using knowledge...

This recitation helps students review and master the concepts of gene expression, as well as modeling a useful study technique. Students work with whiteboards and dry-erase markers while the instructor can walk around to guide/ask probing questions. The activity can be tweaked depending on the instructor's specific expectations for students. Ranking the potential severity of various mutations...
