about Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy and Pedigree Charts
This lesson plan gives students
the opportunity to understand and practice using pedigree charts when
looking at how muscular dystrophy is passed from one generation to
another. This is a great lesson plan to incorporate into a genetics
curriculum after students are familiar with basic genetic principles.
Sex-Linked Chromosomal Disorders
Pedigrees showing heredity and
family traits of sex-linked chromosomal disorders will be discussed to
understand how these disorders are inherited. Based on this information,
students will create projects on the different types of muscular
dystrophy.
