Information
The prompt for this practice CER asks students whether they believe mutations are beneficial, harmful, or neutral. They are also given three different short texts about different examples of mutations (sickle cell anemia, SGLT-1 mutation, and color blindness).
Three separate answer keys are provided to check the students' responses. Students have enough evidence to support three answers -- mutations are beneficial, harmful, or neutral.
