Abstract

This instructional module contains a description of the Human Genome Project (HGP). A discussion of issues in the philosophy of science and some of the ethical, legal, and social implications of research in genetics, and a survey of fundamental genetics concepts and of new, nontraditional concepts of inheritance are also included. Six instructional activities appropriate for high school and introductory college biology students, copy masters for the activities, and background information for students on each of the activities are provided.

Abstract

The human genome project started in 1989 with the collaboration of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This document aims to develop an understanding among students of the human genome project and relevant issues. Topics include the science and technology of the human genome project, and the ethical and public policy dimensions of the project. Four activities are presented in the document: (1) "DNA Sequences"; (2) "Do Our Genes Determine Our Future?"; (3) "The Case of Nathaniel Wu"; and (4) "Public Policy: Genetics and Alcoholism". Four chapters of instructional information on DNA and appropriate activities related to the chapters are also presented. Chapters include: (1) "The Hereditary Molecule"; (2) "Passing Traits from One Generation to the Next"; (3) "How Genes and the Environment Influence Our Health"; and (4) "Controlling Our Genetic Futures." Appendices include Timeline, Helpful Hints, and Some Frequently Used Suppliers. (Contains 39 references.) (YDS)
