Educational Goals and Learning Outcomes


Methods Used for Cancer Research - Mutagen Detection

Educational Goals:

  • Utilize a model organism to detect mutagens.
  • Study the effect of mutagens on DNA.

Learning Outcomes - Students will:

  • apply molecular genetics principles to explain causes of cancer.
  • design a well controlled experiment to determine if a compound is mutagenic
  • relate lab results to DNA sequences and mutagenicity
  • analyze lab data to determine if a compound is mutagenic
  • graph raw data
  • explain scientific data and analysis in written and oral formats
  • hypothesize a compound’s mode of action when given experimental evidence and bacterial genotypes
