Reference no: EM133722690

Question: For this assignment, you will research a genetic disorder and create a presentation about the disorder. Choose from one of the following disorders:

Cystic fibrosis
Down syndrome
Hemophilia
Turner syndrome
Tay-Sachs disease
Huntington's Disease
Marfan syndrome
Sickle Cell Disease
Neurofibromatosis

In your presentation, after you identify and briefly describe the disorder, you should address the following topics:

What causes this disorder?
The genes/chromosomes that are involved
Is the disorder inherited?
Role of dominant or recessive genes
Any influence from the environment? (Address if/how nature vs. nurture applies to this disorder)
Is this diagnosed in utero? How?
How the disorder affects prenatal development
How the disorder affects postnatal development
Please include slides for each of these bullet points. For example, even if there is no influence from the environment, you should still have a slide that explains that there is no influence from the environment. All of these bullet points need to be addressed in the presentation and clearly labeled at the top of each slide.

Your presentation should be at least 10 to 15 slides in length and should include pictures or diagrams. You are welcome to use PowerPoint, Prezi, or another presentation tool of your choice. Be sure to cite your sources, both for your written information and for any images. All sources must be cited using APA-formatted in-text citations, with a reference slide at the end.
