Researching Chromosomal Disorders

A look into the small things in life.

 

The objective of this research project is to get an understanding of the different type of genetic problems many people on the planet face today.  Some of these will affect us in our lifetime, this is going to give each of us some background on what they are.  Please be a thorough and accurate as possible.

 

Here is what you need to have and will be graded on:

q       Onset of disorder (when do symptoms show themselves)

q       Why the disorder happens, causes-extra chromosome, mutation, etc.

q       Pictures of symptoms

q       Cures or potential cures, treatments

q       Other education for example, can you pass on the problem? How is it passed on? Etc.

q       Professionalism

 

You will create a Power Point to speak to the class about the problem, you will make a tri-fold brochure to present to people who are absent or future Academy students.  Below are some of the requirements.
