You will write a 7-10 page (not including references), double-spaced paper on any genetics topic that is of interest to you. This topic can be something that we’ve touched on in class that you’d like to explore more in-depth or something that we didn’t cover, as long as it is related to the study of genetics. Write the paper in a detailed, clear, and organized manner such that anybody could read your paper and learn about the topic you are presenting. This paper is to be written in a formal style and must include at least 7 references, all of which must be from the primary literature (peer-reviewed journals). You may include more than 7 references and some of these may be sources other than peer-reviewed journals but ensure that they are trusted sources and that you cite them properly. The format of the paper will be APA (American Psychological Association) – NOT MLA. Some examples of topics you may be interested in researching are:
Chromosomal aneuplodies (trisomy 21, trisomy 18, turner’s syndrome, or trisomy x for example)
GMOs
gene therapy
pedigree analysis
replication
epigenetics
any other genetics related topic that is of interest to you
The paper should take a broad approach to your topic. Keep in mind when selecting your topic, that your oral presentation will be some subset of your paper that you will explore in detail. For example, you may choose to write your paper on GMO’s as they relate to the food industry and then for your talk you might choose to focus on GMO foods that have been enhanced to add nutritional value.
