by Trish Strohfeldt West Bend East High School, West Bend, Wisconsin In collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Nicole Dowling and Stacy League This lesson is for a senior level biology course and emphasizes the relationship between DNA sequences, mutations in DNA and the change in the resulting protein structure and function. Hemophilia A will be used as a real life example of how a mutation in DNA results in a change in a proteins structure and resulting ability to function. In order to complete these activities, the students should have prior knowledge in DNA structure and mutations, protein synthesis, Mendelian genetics and sex-linked traits.

Learning Outcomes The student will be able to relate a DNA sequences to the resulting protein structure in the factor VIII gene. The student will be able to demonstrate the use of restriction enzymes in the identification of a specific DNA sequence and explain how this can be used to diagnosis someone has having the hemophilia factor VIII mutation. The student will be able to demons ...
