Student Name: BIOLO GEE
Team Name: GOOD GENES
Lab Assignment #: 8
Lab Title: Personal Genetic Profile
Date: 080507.2
Purpose / Objective(s):


Profile common genetic traits in myself and relatives.
Determine patterns of inheritance in my family tree.
Hypothesis (ese):




The following genetic traits should demonstrate independent genetic inheritance patterns within my
class and family.
State what you believe may be true or untrue.
State why you hold that belief
Cite observations, reports, readings etc. See attached
Materials / Subjects / Specimens;


List all the specimens / subjects that you will profile.
Make a table if necessary.
Methods / Tools / Instrumentation / Procedures;



List and describe all tools, measuring devices, lab equipment, stains, you use to perform the lab
procedures
Make tables if necessary to describe what and how you did what you did. Be summarizing in this
write up and put the details in an attachment.
Make diagrams / use photos if necessary to show how and what you did
Results




List summary statements of important measurements, findings, etc,.
Refer to tables and graphs and drawings of your data. Be specific and direct the reader to the data of
specific interest. Import abbreviated tables and graphs / charts into this section – detailed tables and
charts can be included in the Attachments section.
Be sure to number and name your tables, graphs and illustrations. (you may have to use a number of
trees for groups of traits)
Be sure to make at least one statement regarding every table and graph and drawing / illustration in
this section.

Answer the question, “what is the key learning we receive from this data?”
Is your hypothesis validated or not?
Summarize your key understanding
My traits relative to the class are…………
My traits relative to my family tree are………
In my family tree, there are…………..
The differences between me, the class and my family are………….
Conclusions / Further Considerations:



Answer the question, “so what?”
What other information / research / experiment / profile does this data suggest you would like to do?
If this type of data was available for disorders and disease within your family tree, who should have
access to the data? When, where, how, why should others have access?
