EVERYONE does the summary & genetic disorder research.

Use the video posted here as your main source.

Research online as indicated, citing sources.

# data[].attributes.body
For your genetic disorder, find out the following and create a post here. Make sure you copy your findings onto your science notebook for safekeeping.

1. What body system is affected?

2. What specific job of that body system is affected? In other words, someone with this disorder will be affected....

3. What gene is involved in the disorder/disease?

4. What protein is involved in the disorder/disease? Since it is affected, what happens?

5. People with the disorder have what allele copies?

# data[].attributes.body
Make separate posts that explain the following.

What are alleles?

What do alleles do? In other words, if you have a certain copy of an allele, then...

How are alleles inherited?

Look up sickle cell anemia. How many alleles exist? If you have two dominant alleles, do you have the disorder? How about two recessive alleles?

Make separate posts that explain the following.

What are genes?

In general, what do genes do? In other words, what is their job?

What are TWO specific examples of genes? Include their job/function.

Make separate posts with the body's hierarchy (how it's organized) from big to small.

Provide an example of that level.

Include what that example does (job, function) for that level. In other words, how is it useful?

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Proteins help repair and build your bodyś tissues, allowing metabolic reactions to take place and coordinate bodily functions.

1. Actin- Found in muscle cells and used during cellular processes.
2. Dystrophin- Links actin to other proteins in muscle fibers.

Body hierarchy is the major level of organization in the body.

The body is organized by the organ system, organs, tissues, cells.

An example is a protein, protein not only is for buildings muscles but it makes up the pigment for your eyes.

Genes are heredity which is transferred from parent to the child and those genes you get form you to be what you look like and other sorts of things.

The jobs that genes have are telling the cells of the body to make proteins and genes can be found in a short section of DNA.

Two examples of genes are like height, eye color, and many more other things that you can get from your parents.

alleles are a single or multiple versions of a gene, one person inherits two alleles one from each parent .
alleles are there to contribute to the person (or things) phenotype which is what makes the person their outward appearance (how they look outside) If you did have a certain copy of an allele that trait would be more dominant and show more on the person .
With the disease sickle cell anemia (SCD) there are only one normal cell and one abnormal allele cell.

Using what each person found and posted for each column, answer the question below.
Each person needs to answer this question in their own post.
You must also copy your answer onto your index card and turn it in by tomorrow @ beginning of class!

How does DNA make me?

# data[].attributes.body
My DNA makes me different from everyone else because my parents gave me genes and they are unique to them.
