Choose a genetic disorder from the link on the lesson activity document, research, make a brochure and present to your family.
Choose from the following list:
Sickle cell disease
Downe syndrome
Marfan syndrome
Muscular dystrophy

Note that several disorders shown on the Government link may be genetic only in some people's cases, and caused by the environment for other people's cases.
Read the textbook Life Science FlexBook section on Genetic Disorders to understand how these work.
Read the textbook Life Science FlexBook section on Gene Therapy to see how some genetic disorders can be helped by fixing the problem gene.
Your lesson assignment is the genetics disorder brochure.
