Make A Karyotype. Genetic Disorders. Cloning.

 Hi, Luis, David,María,Judit, José Mº, Juanjo, Alberto, Juanma, Manu, Ruben, Pepe  and Jose Manuel!
Homework for the next Friday:  


                                   Common Risk-Associated Diseases

Most common diseases result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. We inherit genetic factors that make us more or less susceptible to developing a particular disease. But our overall health is also a product of our environment.

Learn more about these diseases, who is at risk, and how that risk can be reduced:         

Heart Disease and Stroke, Asthma, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Cancer.

Is It Cloning? Or Not?

  What is Cloning? and Click and Clone, you can explore different approaches researchers use to clone mammals. Although cloning is one type of technology used in reproduction, not all reproductive technologies involve cloning. In the game , you can decide for yourself whether the scenario described involves cloning:
