Genetics Project
Name_______________________________________
Due Date_____________
Directions: Each student will put together a paper folder/binder with the information
below. Each page must be titled and numbered. ALL work must be done by hand and
not on the computer. The information should be presented in the same order as it is here.
Examples from the text may be used but must be reproduced by hand. Each vocabulary
word is worth one point. Number each vocabulary word. Start renumbering the
vocabulary words on each new page. Each visual display is worth six points. Up to 30%
may be subtracted from the final grade for the neatness and appearance of the
presentation. The grade on the notebook will count for 2 (two) test grades.
