To answer those question,please to those webpage provide:
Go to the Genes and Disease website:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bookres.fcgi/gnd/tocstatic.html
1. Read the short Introduction to Genes and Disease
2. Navigate to any two different disease categories (Cancers, Ear, Nose and Throat, etc). Choose
one genetic disease in each category and read about it. You will answer questions about the two
diseases you chose. Note--you need to select a specific disease within the category, not the
category itself.
3. Click on the Chromosome Map. Then click on any three chromosomes. For each chromosome, read
about general information about it, as well as the few sample diseases mapped on each. For a much
more detailed view, click on the map viewer link which will show all the genetic diseases
associated with that chromosome.
