Genetics+of+Colitis


 * [[image:dna_image.png width="153" height="46"]] || Why is it called the "Blueprint of Life?" || What is it a blueprint for? || What reads the blueprint? ||

Describe your Topic below: We are researching ulcerative colitis. We are researching the causes of UC and its genetic basis. We are creating a prezi to explain the information about what it is, treatment, symptoms, causes, and genetics. The prezi will be interactive so Kim will be asking Ashley interview questions while going through the prezi. Kim will be asking questions about when Ashley was interviewed and what it s like to live with it.

Brainstorm what you know and what you would like to know:


 * = ** What we (think) we know ** ||=  ||= What we would like to know / understand ||
 * < We know that ulcerative colitis is a inflammatory bowel disease that affects the colon. It is when inflammation and ulcers form in the colon. Some symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal pain, anemia, and weight loss. ||  ||< We want to understand what causes UC. We want to know whether it is genetic factors or bacteria/virus that cause UC. ||


 * Craft a Driving Question: **

Does a genetic mutation or a bacteria/virus cause ulerative colitis?

As you conduct background research on your topic upload useful finds here. This could include ANNOTATED LINKS, ARTICLES, EMBEDDED VIDEOS, GRAPHICS. For all resources site the source (usually the url)
