I. OBJECTIVES
Content Standard: The learner demonstrates an understanding of mutations that occur in sex
cells as being heritable.
Learning Competency:
a. Explain how mutations may cause changes in the structure and function of protein.
II. CONTENT
A. Topic:
Chromosomal Mutation
B. References:
Breaking Through Science 10 Second Edition pgs. 243-255.
III. PROCEDURE
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Review
B. Developmental Activities
Motivation
Guess Me!
Ask students to identify what is the hidden word behind in each jumbled letters.
D. EXPLORE
Activity 2
Chromie Change
Objectives:
After performing this activity, you should be able to:
1. Illustrate the kinds of chromosomal mutation.
2. Differentiate the kinds of chromosomal mutations.
Materials Needed:
Modeling clay
Procedure:
A. Translocation
1. Using modeling clay make models of two (2) chromosomes. One should have a different
color and size from the other.
2. Break one part of each of the chromosomes. Exchange the parts and attach them to each
of the other chromosomes. See illustration below.
B. Deletion
1. Make a model of a chromatid (one of the duplicated copies of a chromosome).
2. When done, remove a portion of it (close to either end of the chromosome or within the long arm
or short arm). If you choose to remove a part within the arms, be sure to join back the bottom part.
See sample illustration.
C. Inversion
1. Make a colored chromatid as shown below.
2. This time break a portion (with 2 colors) of it. Refer to the illustration below.
D. Duplication
1. Using modeling clay make models of two (2) chromosomes. One should have a different
color and size from the other.
2. Break one part of each of the chromosomes. Attach them the other chromosomes. See
illustration below.
Guide Questions:
E. EXPLAIN
The students will have a discussion and they will give their initial insights, comments and ideas
on how chromosomal mutations happen.
F. ELABORATE
