For the next
four lessons, you will be learning about Genetics in a whole different
way. Each of the four lessons will be based on a different topic
including: Introduction to Genetics, Heredity, Genetic Disorders and
the Ethics of Genetics. You will mainly be working in groups of four, however, there will be exceptions where you will work in pairs or individually. The activities in this WebQuest are designed to give you a basic understanding of Genetics and how it applies to your life. For each activity you will follow the directions listed by taking on the role of different people related to the field of genetics. It is your job to complete the tasks assigned for you.
