SC335 Biochemistry
Final Project: Part 1
Your final project will consist of three parts that will aid you in completing a research paper and creating an educational brochure that integrates what you have learned about genetic predisposition and how to make the public more aware of the issue you have chosen.
In Part 1 of the final project, you will:
Provide a written summary of your topic of choice, addressing the assignment questions below.
Provide three scholarly references.
Topic Selection:
Your first task in Part 1 will be to choose a topic that interests you and fulfills the requirements for the project. The topic you choose must involve a genetic predisposition for a biochemical disease resulting from protein dysfunction or dysregulation. You will be required to construct a written report explaining the biochemical process that is influenced or affected in addition to describing the genetic patterns of inheritance. Topics could include cancer biology, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders.
- In choosing your topic, review the following requirements for Part 2 of this project and make sure to select a topic that will allow you to research and report on the following in Unit 8.
- To complete Part 1 this unit, you will need to submit a paragraph addressing the following:
Briefly summarize the condition, trait, or disease you have chosen, including the protein(s) involved and biochemical process that is influenced or altered.
How is the condition, trait, or disease inherited?
What is your personal interest in the topic?
How does the topic of your choice meet the requirements for the project? Explain any difficulties you had, or strategies you used, to justify your paper topic choice.
Provide three credible references.
You will perform library and internet research in order to locate at least three references that relate to your topic. Two of these references should come from books (including your textbook) and/or peer-reviewed journal articles. The other references can come from websites (do not use Wikipedia).
- If you are uncertain what a credible source is, review the following video on Evaluating Sources for Credibility.
- Review the Reading in this unit for information on locating a reliable internet source.
- Your list of references must use APA format. You will also find additional support in this unit’s Reading for APA formatting.
- LOOK AHEAD: PART 2 CRITERIA
- Explain the genetic consequences of the observed trait or conditions. Compare and contrast the normal and disease state of the condition and the genetic differences that result in protein dysfunction or dysregulation.
Describe how the condition is inherited and the population genetics related to the condition. Explain the relationship between genetic information transfer and the structure of nucleic acids.
- Include a biochemistry review that focuses on the medically applicable concepts and techniques that form the underpinnings of the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of medical conditions.
- Define any genetic testing currently available.
