Learning objective Time taken Learning Outcome Learning activity with opportunity to develop skills Assessment opportunities Resources Eukaryotic have chromosomes of linear DNA associated with histones. Prokaryotic cells contain short, circular DNA that is not associated with histones. Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA like that of prokaryotes. A gene is a base sequence of DNA that codes for the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide or a functional RNA. 0.2 Explain what is meant by the terms chromosome and gene. Compare and contrast DNA in eukaryotes with that in prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Explain what a gene could code for. Learning activities: questioning from GCSE the meaning of key terms like gene, chromosome and allele use animation to show scale of chromosomes in eukaryotic cells and how chromosomes are made of DNA and histones. Introduce the concept of a gene teacher explanation about the difference between the arrangement of DNA in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells students generate a summary table comparing and contrasting prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA. Skills developed by learning activities: MS 0.2 – students can be introduced to base pairs as a measuring of length when Rich question: A textbook stated that “The bacterial chromosome is found in the cytoplasm of the cell”. Evaluate this statement.
