Lab Report Mutations It’s time to complete your Lab Report. Save the lab to your computer with the correct unit number, lab name, and your name at the end of the file name (e.g., U4_ Lab_Mutations_Alice_Jones.doc). Introduction 1. What was the purpose of the experiment? Type your answer here: 2. How are genes related to organisms’ traits? Type your answer here: Experimental Methods 1. Describe the procedure that you followed to test the paper airplanes. Type your answer here: Data and Observations 1. Record your observations in the data table. Type your answer here: Table 1. Distance Travelled by Paper Airplanes Released from the Same Height Airplane Qualitative distance travelled compared to airplane 1 (greater, shorter, equal) Trial 1 Qualitative distance travelled compared to airplane 1 (greater, shorter, equal) Trial 2 Qualitative distance travelled compared to airplane 1 (greater, shorter, equal) Trial 3 2 3 4 Conclusions 1. What conclusions can you draw about how structural changes to genes (mutations) affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism? Write an evidence-based claim that cites evidence from the results of the paper airplane test as a model. Type your answer here: 2. Which fruit fly wing mutation(s) do you think is/are harmful to the fruit fly’s ability to fly? Explain by comparing the wing structure of the fly with the mutation to the wing structure of a fly without a mutation. Type your answer here:
