Final Project

Final Project - Part 3

Your Final Project will consist of three parts that will aid you in completing a research paper and creating an educational brochure that integrates what you have learned about genetic predisposition and how to make the public more aware of the issue you have chosen.

In this third part of the Final Project, you will:

Construct an educational brochure based on the topic you previously chose in Part 1 of the Final Project.

Provide three credible references to support your topic of choice.

Written Report:

For the third and last part of this project you will create an educational brochure for a public audience that integrates what you have learned about the genetic condition of your choice. This is your chance to help the public learn more and be more prepared if they have to deal with this disease state. You will use the same information and research that you complied in Part 2 of this project. You will need to introduce the specific condition or disease along with information about how individuals can have a genetic predisposition for this disease. In addition, you will need to highlight important parts of the biochemical process that is influenced or changed in this condition. You need to include the most important points from your research on the following requirements:

Explanation of the genetic consequences of the observed trait or conditions. Compare and contrast the normal and disease states of the condition and the genetic differences.

Description of how the condition is inherited and the population genetics related to the condition. Explain the relationship between genetic information transfer and the structure of nucleic acids.

Include a biochemistry review that focuses on the medically applicable concepts and techniques that form the underpinnings of the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of medical conditions.

Define any genetic testing currently available.

Helpful Writing Tips:

Informational Brochure

Create a tri-fold, double-sided brochure. You will find a template in the Doc Sharing portion of the classroom.

How to format your brochure:

Develop your brochure with the idea that the reader knows nothing about the patient’s disease or condition.

All sections must include appropriate text and headers to include the facets of your research. All images and graphs should be accompanied by an explanation and proper references. Correct grammar, professional language, and punctuation are required

The brochure you submit must be your own work. If you borrow ideas from printed sources or from people you have spoken to or heard speak, be certain to cite the sources of those ideas, even when paraphrasing. Include a separate reference section that is formatted as per APA guidelines. At least three professional references must be included in your brochure.

Be sure to include a separate small section at the beginning that has the following information:

Title of Paper, Your Name, SC335, Section #, Final Project – Part 3 Kaplan University, Date
