Assessing Student Conceptions of Protein Synthesis with a Case Study in CRISPR and De-extinction

Kadee G. Rutkowske, Jacob N. Willis, Andrea M.-K. Bierema

The American Biology Teacher (2022) 84 (7): 415–421.

Published: 01 September 2022

.... In this article, we describe a case study assessment on protein synthesis that examines the use of CRISPR to bring back the mammoth (i.e., de-extinction). Students learn about protein synthesis throughout the course and work on various case study scenarios to apply those concepts. Their final assessment is a team...

Published: 01 May 2020

...David Wollert CRISPR (also known as CRISPR-Cas9) is a powerful biotechnology tool that gives scientists unprecedented access to the genetic makeup of all living organisms, including humans. It originally evolved as an adaptive immune system in bacteria to defend against viruses. When artificially...
