Geneticsproject Studentguidefall15 Best

This document outlines a genetics project for students. It instructs students to work in groups to research and present on a genetic condition. Each group will describe the condition, discuss its genetic basis and effects, diagnosis, treatment, and inheritance pattern. Students will complete individual work including Punnett squares and pedigree charts. Finally, each group will teach the class about their condition using a case study example. Checkpoints are provided to track progress. The goal is for students to understand genetic inheritance and how gene changes can impact the body.
