Description

Weekly Essay – These should answer the inquiry by incorporating the week’s work in your own words. No quotes. No paraphrasing. All in your own words and turned in to the proper assignment slot in CANVAS. Use a basic 5 paragraph essay style, support your points with data and critical thinking.  No late submissions. No makeups. ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE .doc, .docx, OR .pdf  OR it is a zero (0), no extensions/no resubmissions for wrong file format.  EVERYTHING SUBMITTED IS RUN THROUGH TURNITIN.COM and any score > 30% is a 0 (zero) non-negotiable. I allow 30%, which is twice what the college allows at 15%, to account for inclusion of my essay topic (which will pop for plagiarism). If you do not include the essay topic, you will lose formatting points AND be held to 15% plagiarism check. This week’s topic: Essay 1: Choose a genetically based, well researched (well understood) condition and trace it through the various topics from DNA (gene, locus, allele, mutation) to expression (changes the protein in this way which impacts the function of the protein in this way), to impact on the cell (when the protein’s structure and function change how does that impact the cell), to impact on the body (symptoms). Remember to include your results from the CANVASwork assignments, your thoughts on the lectures/links/discussion, with an eye to critical thinking and supporting your arguments with DATA. (5 paragraphs please: intro, body, conclusion)
