Extractions: Notes to the Teacher: to top These series of reading, writing, and speaking activities may serve as a culminating project or as review in preparation for an examination. Students need to have a working knowledge of the terms associated with the following topics: human genetics, evolution, human reproduction and development. Students need to be aware of current trends and methods utilized in scientific research. The first time the teacher tries these activities, I recommend that the teacher choose a short article no longer than 2 typed pages. The article should contain specific information on a disease that is relevant to her class' community. On the whole, g enetic diseases are interesting and exciting for students to read about and they provide excellent sources of information to captivate students.

Extractions: This page tells about my research, the courses I teach, and other activities at Kansas State University. DNA repair is a ubiquitous, "housekeeping" process that occurs in all types of organisms and is now recognized as being intimately tied with basic cellular mechanisms such as DNA replication, transcription, and regulation of the cell cycle. In my lab, we use the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae , or bakers' yeast, to investigate mechanisms of spontaneous genetic changes in cells and their relationship to DNA repair systems. We have worked with mutant alleles of the gene that confer elevated rates of spontaneous mutation and mitotic recombination , and more recently, have begun to characterize alleles of three other genes ( , and ) that also display this phenotype. These characteristics are of interest because cells in higher organisms that had these characteristics would be highly likely to become transformed into cancer cells. Our overall goal is to understand how cells normally avoid spontaneous genetic changes and how they can become altered in such a way as to accumulate them.
Eliminating Genetic Disease NetPets Your Complete Internet Pet Connection For Dogs existence of this genetic bleeding disorder was other activities currently underway which are working toward the elimination of genetic diseases http://www.netpets.com/dogs/reference/genetics/elimgen.html
Extractions: Eliminating Genetic Disease by Gary F. Mason Introduction This paper is the first product of an effort I have undertaken that was prompted by the discovery that our five month old Scottish Terrier suffered from Type III von Willebrand's Disease (vWD). The existence of this genetic bleeding disorder was unknown to us until he suffered a near fatal bleeding episode for no apparent reason. Subsequent treatment and testing revealed that he was affected with vWD. We were quite naive - as I suspect many people are - when we bought our dog. Both of his parents were AKC registered, which we assumed meant that he was a healthy dog from healthy stock. In fact, prior to discovering his affliction, he too was registered (though we could have registered him even after discovering his malady). We have learned the hard way that "having papers" means very little, if anything, about the genetic health of a purebred dog. This experience convinced us that dogs, and those who own them, should not have to live under the conditions dictated by genetic diseases. This is especially true since in the main they could be prevented. Our dog's disease has generated a lot of additional expense and worry which might have been avoided by a properly designed and managed breeding program. It has also become clear to us that prospective buyers should be better educated about the world of dogs before they make an investment that could lead to considerable extra expense, and worse, the heartbreak of losing a beloved friend too early.
Genetic Education Partnership Summary genetics teaching and demonstrating successful classroom activities. Why should weteach genetics throughout elementary topics such as genetic testing, cloning http://genetics-education-partnership.mbt.washington.edu/summary/psum.html
Extractions: Advances in genetics, the Human Genome Project, and biotechnology will revolutionize biology, medicine, and industry in the 21st Century. As well as providing many benefits, genetics research and technology can at times create complex ethical and legal issues that impact individuals and society as a whole. Thus, we need to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of genetics and help them develop critical thinking and decision-making skills, so that as adults they are able to understand and evaluate related issues. From a teaching perspective, genetics and biotechnology are exciting topics for meeting the goals of state and national science standards for the following reasons: The understanding of how DNA functions as the information molecule of living organisms is one of the most significant scientific discoveries in the 20th Century and is critical to our understanding of inheritance, development of organisms, and diversity of species.
