Summary:
Genetic Disorders are one of the most fascinating topics in Unit 3. Just a few incorrect letters in a single gene can change a person’s entire life. Today we studied just a few examples of genetic disorders, including Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, Treacher-Collins Syndrome, Cancer, and Alcoholism. Students read a short article (posted below) about each disorder, then took notes on Page 313 (also posted below).
