About:

 

Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families. The red blood cells which are normally shaped like a disc and carry oxygen through the body take on a sickle or crescent shape.

 

Genetic Architecture and Karyology Lab

 

 

Materials:

 

• Chromosomes envelopes and alleles on chromosomes
•  Body parts and phenotypic characters
• Rebop Female and Male in mating season

 

 

Exercises:

 

 This lab I about the study of genetics and how certain people gain genetic diseases and others do not. It is mostly about DNA and chromosomes.
