Does it Run In The Family?
Many things shape who we are. Some things such as genes- are outside of our control. Other things such as what we eat, whether we exercise, or whether we smoke -influence our growth, development, and overall health. Collect information about your heritage and culture. Make sure you choose someone who is a willing participant. We will eventually create a pedigree to trace your family history much like genetic counselors. Interview someone in your family and collect the following information;
Name and relationship to you
Ethnicity/race
Date of birth
Place of Birth
any history of diseases, defects, disorders, and allergies for example sickle cell, high blood pressure, diabetes, cleft plate or lip
Lifestyle - exercise regimen if any, hobbies, habits, nutrition(i.e.,vegetarian, only eats chicken, no pork), visit dentists every 6 months
How would they rate their stress level from 1-5, with 5 being high stress level
Take a picture of your family member on your phone so that they can be a part of our gene linkage project.
Enjoy your weekend and blog your info no later than Sunday by 11:59pm. Label your post - Genetics Project
