D1.3 Mutation and Gene Editing
Guiding Questions:
Guiding questions help students view the content of the syllabus through the conceptual lenses of both the themes and the levels of biological organization.
Linking Questions:
Linking questions strengthen students’ understanding by making connections between topics. The ideal outcome of the linking questions is networked knowledge.
