Announcements: We have a quiz over the balderdash vocabulary terms this Wed and Thur. Study.
Today you will finally begin your medical residency as you research either a disease or a genetic disorder. You will display what you learn in a body shaped graphic organizer. Please write on the page provided. You can either type your report or write it my hand. REMEMBER, YOU WILL GET NO CREDIT FOR INFORMATION THAT YOU COPY OFF OF THE INTERNET. Read the information several times and summarize what you learned using your own words. I am looking for summaries not paraphrases.
The websites are on the handout, but you may have more success using the links below.
Websites for Research: Please begin your research at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22183/ . Go to the first link Introduction to Genes and Diseases and read what this site offers, then go back and select the last link the chromosome map. Scroll down to see which genetic disorders are located on which chromosomes. Other sites include: http://www.webmd.com/ http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/disorders/whataregd/ http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/geneticdisorders.html and http://www.genome.gov/10001204
