PROJ-BI-0033: DNA 2024-10-30Page 1of 2Inquiry Question From single base mutations to the addition or deletion of an entire chromosome. What happens when there are mistakes in the genome?Name: ___________________________ Date: ____________ Our cells have many mechanisms to prevent and repair mistakes when our DNA is replicated and our cells divide, but what happens when there are errors? Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by a point mutation (a single nucleotide is changed) while Down Syndrome is the result of having an extra copy of chromosome 21. In this project you will research a specific genetic disorder and produce an informational pamphlet.
PROJ-BI-0033: DNA 2024-10-30Page 2of 2Instructions oRead through the lessons on DNA in their entirety.oChoose a genetic disorder to investigate. A very comprehensive list of genetic disorders may be found on the Wikipedia website at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_disorders oYour pamphlet should include: ocommon and scientific name(s) of disorder odescription of the genetic defect that causes the disorder (if known, what gene and chromosome are affected, what type of mutation is involved?)oprevalence of disorder (how many people are affected, is it random or does it affect a certain population more than others?) odetailed discussion of the symptoms and/or effects of the disorder odescription of treatments and therapies for people who have the disorder odescription of support groups, resources and valuable websites for people who suffer from the disorder and their families oa minimum of 5 pictures/diagrams to support the text oa minimum of 300 words oa minimum of 6 references properly referenced using APA styleoAs this is a research project, proper citation is REQUIRED for this to be graded. You will use APA citation (both in-text citation, as well as a reference list at the end). If you make use of an Ai source, pay particular attention to how to cite this. Full instructions for citation are found at: WCLN.ca > Student Support > APA Citation Format This Project will be graded according to the Marking Guide below.
