Question

Instructions for your concept map:

• Draw one square in the center of your paper with “Genetics” in it as a starting point for your concept map. Genetics is your central concept.

• Concepts are placed in Circles (see below for the list of 25 concepts that you MUST include). You will probably have a few concepts that branch off of "Genetics".

• Arrows show relationships between concepts

– Write appropriate linking words on the line above the arrow

– Every concept needs at least one arrow leading into and one arrow leading away from the concept. Each concept will be worth 0.2 pt for using correct linking words (0.1 pt for linking words going into and 0.1 pt for linking words exiting the concept). Linking words will most likely vary in length (1 word, 5 words, 8 words, etc...).

• The Concept Map should tell a story that makes sense. Make sure you include arrowheads on all of your arrows so we know which direction to read your linking words in.

• Make sure your concepts and linking words are legible, so we can grade your concept map.
