Description
In this Access Excellence activity, students simulate the search for a gene responsible for a genetic disease. They use laboratory procedures to determine the genetic source of the disease. They are able to use that information to describe the inheritance of the disease and to predict that a fetus will be unaffected by the disease. Through creative writing assignments, students explore personal and societal issues surrounding genetic testing.
