Curriculum and WebXam connections
The cleft gene set: more than one way to interrupt a face
How this session lines up with the PLTW curriculum and the WebXam for each class it touches, including the vocabulary, concepts, and skills you share.
The classes below may be taught in different terms. This research track runs all year with HOSA, so a connection means the ideas line up, not that the class meets this week.
GenDGenetics of Disease Fall and Spring
PLTW alignment
GenD screens genes and compares variants linked to conditions.
WebXam
072130 Genetics of Disease
Domain: Bio-Molecular Technology
How it connects
GenD's gene-screening work is exactly this kind of compare-the-genes analysis.
Shared concepts
Several genes, one outcomeAdhesion vs signaling vs transcription
Shared skills
Compare genes in a table
Shared vocabulary (same words, same meaning)
- gene mirrors: Genes code for proteins
- mutation mirrors: Mutations and their effects
- transcription factor mirrors: How genes are regulated
- phenotype mirrors: Genotype to phenotype
