Imagine you work at the local museum of natural history, which is opening a wing dedicated to genetics. At the grand opening, scheduled for next month, you will host an event for the community to learn more about genetics and explore the museum. You have been tasked with developing a brochure that provides an overview of genetics to those who attend.
Develop a brochure that may be given to those who attend the grand opening. Use a Word or Power Point brochure template to design your work.
- A picture and description of DNA, with a summary of differences between DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Figures, graphics need to be of acceptable resolution. All text must be legible and figures must not be blurry. Best to use images of 300 DPI (dots per inch).
- How DNA is formed into chromosomes
- An explanation of each phase of DNA replication
- A depiction of the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein with written explanations of each step
- Techniques of DNA analysis important to genetic engineering
- A definition of the Human Genome Project including its value in identifying human genetic disorders
Remember that your audience is comprised of members of society and are not experts in biology or genetics. Use formal composition.
Cite any sources used in your brochure.
