Introduction to Life Sciences – Week 3 Assignment

Genetic Disease

Imagine you are a genetics counselor working with a couple who have recently welcomed a new baby into their lives. However, they have also recently learned that their child suffers from a genetic condition. Your job is to explain the signs and symptoms of the genetic condition in a way that parents can understand what to expect in the coming years. Also, you will want to include information about the way genetic conditions are inherited, and why they don’t always show up in every family member.

Your assignment should be 500 words in length.
