Part 2 of the Assignment: This is a completely different assignment

Background

With advances in DNA sequencing and the relatively new field of genomics, scientists are quickly unraveling the mystery of diseases by discovering their direct link to our genes.  We have already touched on the role of genes in disease when we did our case study of obesity and learned how a mutation in a receptor can keep leptin from binding to a cell. In this assignment you will work in small groups so that you can develop a stronger foundation in the genetics behind many diseases. 

Step 1: Finding your assigned disease and group

 Each person in the group will be responsible for becoming an expert on an assigned genetic disease by addressing the questions below.  There will be at most 6 people per group and two will be covering a sex linked disease, two will cover an autosomal dominant disease and two will cover an autosomal recessive disease. The purpose of this assignment is to give you practice using terminology correctly, to develop mastery with three main ways that genetic disorders can be inherited and practice doing genetic crosses.

The topic is about Tay Sachs Disease .

Link about it is found here: https://www.google.com/search?q=Tay+Sachs&oq=Tay+Sachs&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Step 2: Concepts to cover in your Essay:

1) Give a brief explanation of the disease by explaining the symptoms or characteristics. 2) How is it inherited? Which chromosome does the gene reside on? What protein does the gene code for? 3) What kind of mutation is involved?  How does this create the defective function? 4) Are there any treatments available or are there ways to correct the genetic defect? 5) What, if any, prescreening measures are available? 6) Demonstrate your understanding of this disease by making up your own genetic testcross question (with answer) which members in your group will be responsible for answering by doing a Punnett square.  You will pretend that a couple is going to a genetic counselor to get advice and they want to know the chances of having a child ( a son, and/or daughter) with the disease based on known or unknown genetic information (maybe another family member has the disease).  Be creative but give your classmates enough information to solve the Punnett square. Look in your textbook at the end of chapters 19 and 20 for examples of ways such questions could be worded.

In addition to information in the textbook Human Biology 11th edition by Starr and McMillan, you can find the book here, find TWO INFORMATIVE web-sites or peer reviewed scientific papers for your chosen disease. At the end of the report, put the citations for the web pages you used. DO NOT COPY DIRECTLY FROM ANY WEB PAGE. THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM! USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!

Step 3: Posting

I will create an answer key for your group that consists of all test questions and answers. So only include the answer to your test cross when you post to the Assignment link below and remember to delete the answer when posting your paper on your Group's Discussion Board for Module 7 (so your group doesn't see the answer). I will create a key based on the answers you will write under your question and I will post the key to your Group's Discussion Board towards the end of the Module.

Post your report both Below these instructions (Module 7 Assignment link) AND to the Discussion Board for Module 7 (you will only see the papers for the students in your group.)
